Peewinkle’s Puppet Studio offers a different kind of Valentine’s treat.

There will be eight performances of Valentine’s Puppet Cabaret on Feb. 12-15 at Peewinkle’s, 25 E. Henry St., Indianapolis.

“We have been doing this show for about five years now and have found it to be very popular with parents and grandparents,” said Peggy Melchoir, the studio’s artistic director. “We’ve been sold out the last couple of years. They like to do something with their kids rather than giving them sugary, sweet candies and stuff. It’s a variety show with hand puppets.”

The show is hosted by Sweetheart, who is a red and white girl clown puppet.

“She introduces the baby elephant, little dog, jack in the box, dancing ostrich, sweet singing lion and Valentine’s butterflies and more,” Melchoir said.

Melchoir and business partner Debbi White will be the puppeteers.

Instead of the traditional popcorn Peewinkle’s serves, there will be a small drink (water or juice box) and a gourmet heart-shaped cookie.

“There made by a woman who uses all organic butter and ingredients,” Melchoir said. “They’re gorgeous. They’re expensive and that’s why are ticket prices are $1 higher.”

The performances will at 9:30 and 11 a.m. on Feb. 12, 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Feb. 13, 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and 10 a.m. and noon on Feb. 15 (Presidents Day).

Tickets are $13. Children two and under are free. There is room for about 48 people at each show.

The show is followed by a $3 optional paper puppet-making workshop.

“Kids can make a hand puppet and perform on stage with it,” Melchoir said.
