Your Arlington Last Updated: 04 June 2022 Written by Lynette Aznavour UPDATED June 4: On Saturday June 4, the Old Schwamb Mill will hold an open house, with special events to be held throughout the day. 10:30 - 11:30 a.m.: Interactive Puppet Show with Margaret Moody: The Trolls & The Tree Two trolls, Skimpa and Blompa, are excited to stay in a beautiful fairy garden. But they can't imagine a week without their furniture, shopping and cell phone service! Even when the trolls harm the garden, the fairies find ways to teach them the value of nature gently, with help and advice from audience members. Join Arlington puppeteer Margaret Moody and musicians Ann Wynne and Peter Lehman for this gently humorous tale. Peter Lehman accompanies the puppet show on lute, drawing on music from the Renaissance to Willie Nelson tunes. The show will be performed outdoors. In the event of rain, the program will be held inside the Old Schwamb Mill. The Trolls and the Tree was produced with the generous support of the Arlington Cultural Council, a local agency of the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Admission: $15 per family or $5 per person. For tickets call the mill at 781-643-0554 on Tuesdays or Saturdays or email info at oldschwambmillorg. 11:30 to 1 p.m.: The frame-making process demonstration with David W.
