Pierre’s Birthday Surprise

Chef Pierre hosts a dazzling variety show – with a special birthday surprise! Chef Pierre will present a special gift of a gold crown to the birthday celebrator, compliments of The Fratello Marionettes. Every performance is followed by the opportunity for the guest of honor to have a photo taken with their favorite puppet, plus a group shot with all the guests.

Peter & the Wolf

Our production of Peter and the Wolf is set to the majestic Prokofiev score, designed to introduce children to classical music and the individual instruments within an orchestra. Visit the forest home of Peter and his grandfather, listen to the debate between the bird and the duck, and see how the hunters capture the wolf. This production features a digital recording, or can be performed with a symphony and guest narrator.

Performance is free with paid admission to the museum.

Aladdin

Using traditional music, intricate costumes, and dramatic staging, we present this magical tale adapted from “The 1,001 Arabian Nights” as it has never been seen before. Friendship and kindness triumph over evil as Aladdin discovers the magical lamp, frees and befriends the powerful genie, thwarts the evil sorcerer, and saves the kingdom.

The Vaudeville Follies

“The Vaudeville Follies” is a marionette variety show presented in the spirit of the old-time music hall. Our puppeteers perform in full view of the audience. Each performance is designed to engage and enthrall: an opera singer, a trapeze artist, Pierrot and his balloon, a trained dog, and a ballet dancing chicken are just a few of the acts you might see.
