Tale as old as time
Tanglewood Marionettes have become staples at East Lyme Puppetry Project performances. The group whose previous performances here included “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” will return on Sunday for a production of “Hansel and Gretel.”
Large, hand-crafted marionettes bring to life this classic fairy tale. This “Hansel and Gretel,” set in the mid-1800s, incorporates music from the Humperdinck opera “Hansel and Gretel.”
Audience members might want to get to the East Lyme Community Center early, since puppeteers will give a demonstration before the performance. And they might want to stay afterward, when the Tanglewood folks will hold a question-and-answer session.
This show raises money for Care and Share. Tickets are $5, plus a canned good or cash donation to Care Share, with the food distributed to families in need in East Lyme and Salem.
