Tanglewood Marionettes
June 25 – 28, 2024 / 11am – 12pm
Tanglewood Marionettes is a nationally touring marionette theater based in New England. Highly skilled puppeteers bring their repertoire of classic tales to life using large, beautifully hand-crafted marionettes, colorful sets and integrated lighting and sound. This summer, Tanglewood will feature two different performances:
June 25 & 26 – Hansel & Gretel: Hansel and Gretel is based on the classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, and features melodies from the Humperdinck opera. The colorful set is in the shape of a giant story book; as the pages turn, each new and exciting scene is revealed. All the staging, scenery, and marionettes are handcrafted by Tanglewood Marionettes and together represent over a year of construction time. The story itself is set in the mid-nineteenth century. As the tale unfolds, Hansel and Gretel must call upon their inner reserves and learn new methods to overcome the challenges they encounter while lost in the wood.
June 27 & 28 – An Arabian Adventure: A swashbuckling tale set in exotic lands and featuring our signature story book backdrop, An Arabian Adventure tells the tale of a prince who is thrown into a dungeon because of his love for a beautiful princess. Facing danger at every turn, the courageous prince must use his wits to escape his prison, defeat the diabolical Vizier, and save the princess from a tragic fate. Replete with clever stage illusions and lighting effects, An Arabian Adventure is a fast-paced, action-packed drama that is especially good for older children.
