The Melchior Marionettes Bring Comedy Cabaret on Strings to Bloomington
Comedy Cabaret On Strings Puppet Show and Workshop
February 13, 2010 Shows at 2 pm & 4 pm with a puppet workshop at 3 pm
Bloomington Area Arts Council and the The Melchior Marionettes
John Waldron Arts Center, The Rose Firebay Theater and Pre-school Art Room
The Bloomington Area Arts Council is proud to present The Melchoir Marionettes as the first performance of what will
be an ongoing puppet show series in conjunction with the new Pre-School Art Room and Puppet Theatre in the John Waldron Arts Center.
Since 1952, the Melchior Marionettes have been performing throughout the US Midwest, Canada, Mexico and Europe. Most recently, they performed
in Shangai, China, at Century Park for their National Day Celebration. They are now in their 2nd and 3rd generation specializing in festivals,
corporate events, country clubs and school convocations. Beautiful hand crafted and costumed marionettes are performed in full view of the audience.
Comedy Cabaret on Strings is a variety show of trick marionettes that will delight audiences of all ages. A wide variety of music and a hand painted
street scene enhances this delightful cabaret. Watch how the puppeteer pulls the strings to make the dancers, jugglers, trapeze artists and others,
come to life...a unique experience! Also, don't miss the free Puppet Workshop at 3 pm in the Pre-School Art Room at the John Waldron Arts Center.
This interactive workshop is a one of a kind opportunity for kids to learn about the magic behind the marionettes. This fun and educational event is
great for the whole family!
Seating is limited. $5 Adults, $2 Children. For advance tickets, please contact the Bloomington Area Arts Council today!
