SHOW 3
SUNDAY, APRIL 14, 2024 AT 1 PM
SLEEPING BEAUTY
CAPACITY LIMIT:  80

Tanglewood Marionettes’ production of Sleeping Beauty begins with a brief
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.
A classic tale which appeals to children of all ages, Sleeping Beauty begins in
King Felix’s great hall with the celebration of Princess Aurora’s birth. The party
goes awry when the wicked witch arrives and curses Princess Aurora. Will the
curse come true? Will someone with a “true heart” appear? You will know when
you see Tanglewood Marionettes’ presentation of this best-loved tale.
In this retelling, a painted story book opens to reveal each scene. Beautifully
hand-crafted marionettes are brought to life by a master puppeteer as the
dramatic events unfold.
Sleeping Beauty is geared primarily toward children from pre-Kindergarten
through Grade 2.
The production is approximately 40 minutes in length, and includes the Puppetry
Demonstration prior to the show, and a Question and Answer Session following
the performance.
