SLEEPING BEAUTY

Now entering our 22nd season; the Drawbridge Puppet and Marionette Theater provides an entertaining as well as educational experience using original scripts and songs. The stage, puppets, marionettes, scenery and props are constructed by the puppeteers themselves. We travel within a 50 mile radius of Lunenburg, MA to schools, libraries, day cares, churches, community events and fairs with a unique and humorous brand of puppetry. Each one hour production concludes with an 'Art of Puppetry' demonstration, explaining the many techniques used in manipulating marionettes and puppets. In some situations, a back stage tour in also conducted. The Drawbridge Puppet Theater is completely self contained with stage, lighting and sound. The puppeteers can provide audiences and groups puppet making workshops, allowing a 'hands-on' activity which brings great interest to every participant. Workshops can be conducted as part of a performance or separately. We also provide complete courses in the fine art of marionettes, where the children create their very own string puppet and conclude the course by performing a show.

Audience

All ages enjoy the performances by the Drawbridge Puppets. For comfort in viewing, it is preferred that a maximum seating capacity be limited to 200 people per show. Additional performances should be planned according to expected number in audience.

Availability

Full Time. Indoor venues only. (We do not perform outdoors.)

Stage Requirements

(Please note that our size requirement is very important. Please measure your space to make certain our stage will fit within your space) An electrical outlet near the set and a darkened room or hall will provide best results. It is also recommended that any other activities planned; (food, prizes, etc.) be conducted after performances only. For fairs or festival planners, it is essential that set-up location is placed away from noisy attractions. (indoor location only) Stage set-up area should be free and clear of debris. A spot allocated for a standard van to park and unload with close proximity to set-up area is most helpful.
