A terrible drought has overtaken the land, and all the world has turned brown and lifeless. The Dragon King is a ruler of the waters, and the people are beginning to wonder why he has not brought the precious rains in such a very long time. An underwater fantasy based on Chinese folklore, Tanglewood Marionettes’ latest production tells the tale of a wise Grandmother who journeys to the bottom of the sea to seek the Dragon King, and the answers to why he has forsaken the land above. The program is presented with the marionettists in full view, so that the audience can witness first-hand the mechanics of puppet manipulation. With colorful sea creatures, an exciting adventure, and all the visual splendor that audiences have come to expect from a Tanglewood Marionettes production, The Dragon King is a heart-warming tale that will thrill young and old alike.
The program 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. Featuring lovingly hand-crafted 36″ tall marionettes, 16 feet of stage, and 50 yards of innovative scrolling scenery, Perseus and Medusa is a story as old as time that tells of a young hero and a dangerous quest. In the exciting retelling of this classic greek myth, Perseus will visit many magical places, from the sun-kissed Garden of the Hesperides, to the dark & ominous Underworld. The program is presented with the marionettists in full view, so that the audience can witness first-hand the mechanics of puppet manipulation. Replete with clever stage illusions and lighting effects, Perseus and Medusa is an action-packed drama that is sure to delight audiences of all ages while introducing them to the magical world of puppet theater.
First year student Anna arrives in her college rehearsal hall, hoping to get advice about landing the lead in a professional production of Romeo and Juliet. Once the intimidating acting instructor agrees to help, they embark on a series of lessons that become emotional duels, unexpected transformation, and scandal. When personal failures overwhelm their professional success, they come together to move past a relationship built form Shakespeare’s words in order to save their work, their art, and themselves.
Join us for an evening filled with vibrant storytelling that will entertain, inspire, and enrich your heart, mind, and soul capped by an opportunity to win an event painting created during the live performance.
