Tanglewood Marionettes
 

 

Tanglewood Marionettes
Tanglewood Marionettes is a nationally touring marionette theater based in Massachusetts. Classic tales are performed by skilled puppeteers who have spent many years perfecting their art. Tanglewood Marionettes travels with a self contained marionette stage that has integrated lighting and sound systems. The programs are presented with the marionettists in full view, so that the audience can witness firsthand the mechanics of puppet manipulation.

The Fairy Circus
Tanglewood Marionettes' presentation of the "The Fairy Circus" begins with a demonstration of the art of puppetry. Through humorous interplay, the audience will learn about various forms of puppets, from the simple glove puppet to the sophisticated marionette. Then it's on with the show! Featuring over twenty beautifully handcrafted marionettes, "The Fairy Circus" is a showcase of turn-of-the-century-style trick puppetry. The puppets will dance, play instruments, juggle, contort, transform, and fly through the air with the greatest of ease, all to the best-loved music of favorite composers!
