In this retelling, a painted storybook opens to reveal each scene. Beautifully hand-crafted marionettes are brought to life by a master puppeteer as the dramatic events unfold. Come see the Tanglewood Marionettes perform Sleeping Beauty at the Franklin Park Arts Center on March 27, 2024 – then stay for a workshop with the puppeteers!

Master puppeteers will discuss some of the construction and stringing techniques used when building marionettes, and then demonstrate the basics of marionette manipulation. Participants will be provided with marionettes for the duration of the workshop and will experience what it is like to work with a professional-quality marionette that has been balanced and tuned like a fine instrument.
