Delighting the hearts and spirits of children of all ages, The Annual Puppet Festival, is returning to the Children's Theater at Fairytale Town, beginning May 1. For more than twenty years, Puppet Art Theater has been coming to Fairytale Town. During the eight week installment, four unique puppet shows will be presented by Art Grueneberger's, award winning, Puppet Art Theater. Don't miss your chance to see classic fairytales retold in an artful and hilarious manner.This year Puppet Art Theater will debut its newest production, Riley the Wiley Rabbit. This production was built partially through a national grant from Puppeteers of America; a national nonprofit organization that provides information, encourages performances, and builds a community of people who love puppet theatre. Fairytale Town has had a long collaboration with Puppet Art Theater, and are pleased to have this show debut in our Children's Theater.
Each of the four shows will have a two-week run. Hansel & Gretel runs May 1-16; The Three Little Billy Goats Gruff, May 19-30; Little Red Riding Hood, June 2-13; and the debut of Riley the Wiley Rabbit, June 16-27.
Performances are offered, Wednesdays through Sundays. Weekday show times are: 10:30AM, 11:30AM and 12:30PM. Weekend show times are: 12:30PM, 1:30PM, and 2:30PM. Tickets are $1 members and $2 nonmembers.
