WHAT'S NEW (Jan 2007 Newsletter) EULENSPIEGEL GROWS! (Fall 2006 Newsletter) EULENSPIEGEL CD and DVD Take the Eulenspiegel Puppets home with you! If you love Eulenspiegel music, much of it written and played by Ron Hillis, you'll want the Favorite Songs CD, which features original music from some of our favorite shows, played by Ron, by Guy Drollinger, and even by Teri Jean and Monica's internationally traveled kazoo band. If you want to see the puppets on your TV screen, you'll want the Eulenspiegel DVD Showcase, which features a beautiful 30 minute documentary created by Bob Hurst about Eulenspiegel's history in rural Iowa. This documentary makes you feel good about the rural Midwest! The DVD also includes three performances (Eulenspiegel's Circus, Driving the Body Back, and My Father's Imaginary Friend) as well as a slide show and short biographies of past and present Eulenspiegelers. You can purchase the CD and DVD at an Eulenspiegel show. The CD is available at Real CDs and Records in Iowa City. Or e-mail us and we'll send you one!
