Summer season at Puppetworks

The summer season begins at Puppetworks with a special one-hour performance featuring three tales — “Peter and the Wolf,” “The Frog Prince,” and “The Ugly Duckling” — now through Aug. 17.

Narrated for marionettes by Nicolas Copppola, “Peter and the Wolf” is the story of a boy who captures a wolf with the help of his animal friends, while “The Frog Prince” tells the tale of a princess who kisses a frog and finds her prince, and “The Ugly Duckling” is the timeless yarn of the little swan.

The program is approximately one hour and suitable for children 3 years and older.

The puppet show is presented on Saturdays and Sundays, now through Aug. 17. Performances are 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm; Tickets are $8 for children, $9 for adults and $7 for groups of 20 or more.
