‘Hansel and Gretel’ takes the stage

Follow the crumbs to Puppetworks on Sundays now through Dec. 18 to see “Hansel and Gretel.”

This version is based on the Brothers Grimm fairytale and adapted into a gentler version for children 3 years and older by artistic director Nicolas Coppola.

“Hansel and Gretel” tells the story of two children lost in the wood after a bird eats their breadcrumb trail, and their adventure with Rosina Sweet-tooth, a silly witch who wants to turn them into gingerbread — only to end up as a cookie herself. Folk songs from Humperdinck’s opera accompany the production.

“Hansel and Gretel,” Sundays, now through Dec. 18 at 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm (all dates) with a special showing on Monday, Oct. 10 (Columbus Day). Reservations suggested. Tickets are $9 for children and $10 for adults.
