Tanglewood Marionettes “Cinderella”  -A classic fairy tale told with wit and style, the story unfolds as the pages of a giant book open to reveal each beautifully painted setting, featuring lavishly costumed marionettes. All your favorite characters are here, from gentle Cinderella to the bumptious stepsisters and the charming prince, but we do offer a few new surprises: Cinderella’s method of conveyance to the ball is NOT the traditional horse-drawn coach, and, when all hope seems lost, a clever little bluebird saves the day for Cinderella.

Saturday, May 9th: 10:00 am
Tickets: $10 per person or $25 for family of 4. www.newtoncommunityprice.org/festival

Rock-A-Baby with Siagel Productions  -After “Cinderella”, jam out with the Siagel celebrity puppet band to music that will get you on your feet and the whole family groovin’!

Saturday, May 9th: 11:15 am Tickets: free for everyone attending the puppet show, or $10 per family.  www.Newtoncommunitypride.org/festival
