<p>The CityParks PuppetMobile presents the classic &ldquo;Puss in&nbsp;Boots&rdquo; tale, with a twist. Once upon a time there lived a young man named Ferguson Mundingle. Fergus has just the bare essentials in life &ndash; a roof over his head, the clothes on his back, and his ever faithful pet cat. One day when lamenting his poor lifestyle, Fergus is astounded when his cat stands up, begins talking and introduces himself as Puss. Puss reveals to Fergus that he is very intelligent and well traveled, and even has an idea to help Fergus improve his situation. With that in mind, Puss dons a snazzy pair of boots and sets off on an exciting magical journey.&nbsp;Despite his reputation as a sly trickster, Puss soon proves himself a caring friend to all, willing to help at any cost!</p><p>CityParks PuppetMobile, one of the only traveling puppet theaters in the country, brings&nbsp;Swedish Cottage&nbsp;Marionette Theatre productions and puppet making workshops to all corners of the city, free of charge.</p><p>Traveling the five boroughs in a PuppetMobile equipped with a stage and staff of professional puppeteers, the CityParks PuppetMobile brings entertainment to 50,000 children and families each year. Performances are held in parks, playgrounds and recreation centers from May to October.</p>

Despite his reputation as a sly trickster, Puss soon proves himself a caring friend to all, willing to help at any cost!

Exhibition: Mariella Bisson: Sunlight, Water and Gravity

Gallery on Third Floor

<p>Mariella Bisson&rsquo;s large-scale, mixed media paintings of picturesque waterfalls in upstate New York are coupled with her preparatory drawings and watercolors in Sunlight, Water and Gravity. Her paintings, created with hundreds of pieces of layered paper, teeter on the edge of abstraction and representation. The overlapping paper replicates the texture of rushing water and rock strata. Motion, gravity, and the endlessness of geological time are as much the subject of Bisson&rsquo;s paintings as the actual waterfalls.</p>

Going beyond simple ornamentation, her intensely hand-worked woodcuts clearly illustrate her belief in the purification of self through meditative labor&mdash;quietly expressing frustration, instability and obsession through intricate or repeating patterns influence by historic textiles, window dressings, and wallpaper.NYC Parks is pleased to announce the exhibition <em>House Work, </em>a series of prints and installations by Cara Lynch on view at the Poe Park Visitor Center through October 5, 2013.

The Revitalization of Prospect Cemetery and the Chapel of the Sisters

14:30

16:00

Program meets at King Manor, where a short lecture will be held, then proceeds as a walking tour through Prospect Cemetery.

<p>Prospect Cemetery is the oldest family burial ground in Queens, and one of the oldest in New York City, dating from at least 1668. In 1856, Nicholas Ludlum, a successful merchant born in Jamaica, purchased the property and constructed the Chapel of the Sisters, a memorial to three of his daughters who died young. Both the cemetery and the chapel are designated as New York City landmarks. By 1989, the cemetery was completely overgrown, historic head stones knocked over and broken, and the Chapel vandalized and in disrepair. An extensive revitalization program was undertaken in 1999, which included clearing and re-landscaping the cemetery grounds, conservation of historically important grave markers and the restoration of the chapel interior and fa&ccedil;ade.</p><p>Reservations are required, contact&nbsp;programs@kingmanor.org or&nbsp;(718)&nbsp;206-0545 to make a reservation.</p><p>Please note: This program is a combination lecture &amp; walking tour. Due to space restrictions in the cemetery &amp; chapel, the audience will be limited to 20 members maximum.</p>
