“Lions” loose in OKC
Puppets from the popular PBS literacy series “Between the Lions” will be in the Oklahoma City area today (Tuesday) and Wednesday to meet fans and read stories.
Cleo and Leona, two of the lions puppets that run a magical library on the show, will host read-alongs with youngsters at two locations today and three places Wednesday. All are open to the public, and all but one are free.
Today’s appearances will be at 2 p.m. at Metro Tech Head Start (3901 N Martin Luther King. Ave) and at 7:30 p.m. at the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden (2101 NE 50 St). The evening zoo appearance is a fundraiser and has a small fee.
On Wedneday, the puppets return to the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden for a performance at 9:30 a.m. At 2 p.m., they will visit Emerson High School (715 N Walker Ave) and at 6:30 p.m. the Absentee Shawnee Tribe Little Axe Resource Center (1970 156 Ave NE).
“Between the Lions,” which combines puppetry, animation and live action to help young children learn to read, begins its eighth season Sept. 15 on OETA-13. The PBS photo above features a click of the mouse with Theo, Cleo and Leona.
