Heartache Holiday
created by Margo McCreary
performed by Margo McCreary, Shari Aronson and Kallie Melvin

Heart is fed up with the demands on her steady self and decides to venture out in search of what can bolster her in these fast-paced times.

Margo McCreary is a Twin Cities puppeteer. She started with In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre back in the 70’s. Independent since 1980, Margo performs original puppet shows and teaches puppetry as an artist/ educator. She has been fortunate to collaborate with other talented directors, performers musicians and technicians for the past 35 years.
