Presents

 

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

 

For those organizations that find it difficult to visit the puppet theatre we offer our touring productions to your venue:  two hand puppet shows for smaller venues and  two larger- scaled marionette shows for larger ones.  The titles of our current touring shows are listed below :

 

    

"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;" complete with TV commercials , a rock-obsessed little bear and a feisty little Goldilocks . 

 $325.00 for one performance and $550.00 for two performances on the same-day.

 

 

 

 “PUNCH AND JUDY AND THE THREE LITTLE LAMBS”

 

 

Punch, Judy, their dog, Toby, three resourceful little lambs and a zany  wolf who dresses as Little Bo-Peep to catch his quarry

 

 

 

‘THE SLEEPING BEAUTY”

 

 

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

 

 

 

“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 and their corresponding instruments are introduced to the audience before the story begins and the musical themes are introduced to the children. This marionette show is designed for smaller venues. Price:  $400.00 for one and $600.00 for two same-day performances

 

All our performances begin with an interactive pre-show.    As the children enter the performance space they are greeted by marionettes and puppeteers who engage the audience in humorous interaction with the puppets. These activities give the audience a glimpse into the art of marionette manipulation while preparing the children for the main  performance.    Following the performance, if your schedule permits, the puppeteers answer questions about the performance and demonstrate marionettes from the production.
