Presents

International fairy tales, fables and folk tales brought  to your school or organization.

We are currently offering one large-scale marionette production and two hand puppet shows for smaller venues.   Bring the magic of puppetry to your school,  sparking imaginations with our hand-crafted marionettes, elaborate scenery, lighting effects and music.

All our performances begin with an interactive pre-show.    As the children enter the performance space they are greeted by marionettes and puppeteers  who and engage the children in humorous interplay. These activities  give the audience a glimpse into the art of marionette manipulation and help to focus the children in order hold the attention of even very small children during the  performance.     Following the performance, if your schedule permits, the puppeteers answer questions about the performance and demonstrate marionettes from the production.

Our current titles:

"THE SLEEPING BEAUTY"

Our marionette production of the classic story features a brave little dog, three lovable fairies a fierce dragon and, of course, a beautiful princess who sleeps for one-hundred years. The cost of one performance is $550.00 and for two same-day performances:  $925.00 

"THE THREE WISHES/THE 3 LITTLE LAMBS"

Created for smaller venues this presentation features a farcical re-telling of "The Three Little Pigs" complete with a wolf who dresses as Bo-Peep to snare the unwary lambs, in addition to the story of a fisherman and his wife who discover that having your wishes granted by a magic fish doesn't always guarantee happiness.  The price:  $325.00 for one and $550.00 for two same-day performances.

"GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS"

A modern re-telling with a family of bears at a National State Park campsite who bear a striking resemblance to the Cleaver family in "Leave It To Beaver." Our version: complete with TV commercials , a rock-obsessed little bear and a feisty little Goldilocks .  $325.00 for one and $550.00 for two same-day shows.

“PETER AND THE WOLF”

The classic musical story of a boy who, with the help of his animal friends, outsmarts a wolf. Set to the music of Serge Prokofiev, each character is represented by a different musical instrument . The characters with their corresponding instruments are introduced to the audience before the story begins and the musical themes are introduced to the children.
