This free performance by Bob Kramer’s Marionnettes celebrates 50 years of magic and puppetry with scenes from classic shows like Phantom of the Opera, Hawaiian War Chant and Meet Me in St. Louis.
One of the longest running on-site puppetry theatres in the U.S., Bob Kramer's Marionnettes is known throughout the world. Kramer’s stories are wholesome, old-fashioned tales like Peter and the Wolf, Hansel and Gretel and Toyland.
Founded in 1963, Kramer has designed and created in the most exacting detail more than 1,000 one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted marionettes and puppets, and is sought as a teacher of puppet-making and puppetry.
Free. 11 a.m. at the Sheldon Concert Hall.
