We first stocked the Bread and Puppet calendar in 2012 and have it in our home every year.  It is not only a joy to admire but also grounding.  B & P has given us so much inspiration over the years: how to live, what to consider and how to do in this world. Founded by Peter Schumann and his wife Elka in 1963 they are / were our heroes. As with everything the theater does the messages are direct and often political. You can either take them in and digest or see the work as simply a beautiful, creative expression. That my friend, is great art, it sits in the rare place where politics meet beauty. Mr. Schumann has gone far beyond the standard calendar notations and highlighted some significant days of the year.  Every day I look at the calendar I bring my priorities around.
