Classic myths, fables, and original works are presented with marionette theater for all age groups. The repertoire includes stories such as "Hansel and Gretel," "The Frog Prince," and "Billy Goats Gruff'kin." Performances conclude with a demonstration of how a marionette show is made, how puppets are manipulated, and simple ways to make puppets. Black Cherry will adapt its presentation to meet teachers' needs and will provide lesson plans and supplemental materials. The theater also offers workshops designed to integrate with the curriculum. The performance can take place at your school or event or can be a field trip to Black Cherry Puppet Theater in Baltimore.
