The Paper Moon Puppet Theatre
|
Under the direction of James Racioppi, The Paper Moon Puppet Theatre, creates an enchanted world for you and your children . The marionettes are designed and crafted individually for each production. Researched costumes, elaborate scenery, lighting effects and music combine to create a complete theater experience. In this time of video games, television and movies this is, for many children, a complete and absorbing first encounter with live theater. Older children and adults will be fascinated with the mechanics of classic marionette theater. Especially delightful is the pre-show as the puppeteers engage the children in audience participation and interaction with the marionettes. Paper Moon Puppet Theatre takes pride in their presentations of old world classic fairy tales, folk tales and fables, creating a complete theatrical production in miniature. . The hour long performance is structured to capture and hold the attention of even very young children. Before each performance the puppeteers engage the children in audience participation and interaction with the marionettes, and after the show the audience is introduced to the characters from the show that they have just seen. This first hand look at what goes on behind the scenes, adds to the appreciation of the art of marionette theatre. |
