Two mainstays in East Hampton's restaurant scene are co-sponsoring a puppet-show series for children.
Rowdy Hall and Cittanuova are the sponsors. The 4:30 p.m. performances, courtesy of the Goat on a Boat Puppet Theatre, will be held at Cittanuova on May 2, 9, 26 and 23; and at Rowdy Hall on May 30, June 6, 13 and 20. The shows are free, suitable for all ages, and will change weekly.
Children will receive $5 vouchers for a "kids entree" and a scoop of ice cream at Cittanuova and for a similar main course at Rowdy Hall. The vouchers must be used before 6:30 p.m. on the day of the performance, or any Monday to Wednesday evening before 6:30 p.m. until June 22. All, of course, are encouraged to stick around for dinner after the show.
Cittanuova is at 29 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 631-324-6300; and Rowdy Hall is at 10 Main St. in Parrish Mews, East Hampton, 631-324-8555.
