Follow the candy to the witches house at Puppetworks when “Hansel & Gretel” comes to town this fall, from Sept. 1 through Dec. 16.
The merry marionettes created by Nicolas Coppola tells the Brothers Grimm fairy tale of two beloved children, Hansel and Gretel, who get lost in the woods after a bird eats their bread crumb trail, causing them to run into Rosina Sweettooth, a silly witch who tries to turn them into gingerbread, only to (spoiler alert) wind up as a cookie herself.
Your family will enjoy the journey, along with the delightful folk songs from Humperdinks’ famous opera.
“Hansel & Gretel” at Puppetworks [338 Sixth Ave. at Fourth Street in Park Slope, (718) 965–3391, www.puppetworks.org]. Saturdays and Sundays, Sept. 1 through Dec. 16, with two special performances on Oct. 8 and Nov. 12. Performance times are 12:30 and 2:30 pm.
