Cinderella: A Tanglewood Marionettes Production
Set in the eighteenth century and featuring a dozen lavishly
costumed 30” marionettes, this production of Cinderella is a
Tanglewood Marionettes showpiece. The
story unfolds as the pages of a giant book open to reveal each beautifully
painted setting – the village square, the rustic kitchen, the magnificent
ballroom, plus many more (one of our scenes even “pops” right out of the book!).
All your favorite characters are here, from gentle Cinderella to the bumptious
Stepsisters and the charming Prince, and each marionette is manipulated with
precision and grace by our talented puppeteers. Our telling is based on the
original beloved tale, but we do offer a few new surprises: Cinderella’s method
of conveyance to the Ball is NOT your traditional coach-and –four, and, when
all hope seems lost, a clever little bluebird saves the day for Cinderella. A
classic fairytale told with wit and style, Tanglewood Marionettes' production
of Cinderella is sure to please audiences of all ages.
The performance will take place from 1-2pm on Sunday, February 28, 2016 in the East Lyme Community Center . Tickets are $5. Please bring a food item to benefit Care & Share of East Lyme. For more information, call 860-739-7225.
