The Max has the mission to feature outstanding native Mississippians that have affected the world.  To tie in with our traveling exhibit, Jim Henson: Imagination Unlimited, we will bring in Wood & Strings Theatre to give our audiences a hands-on and live theatre experience in the multiple aspects of the art form.

The project will entail two workshops directed at students from 15-18 years old, one in puppet construction and the second in puppet manipulation and performance.
