Featuring over twenty beautifully hand-crafted marionettes, “The Fairy Circus” is a showcase for turn-of-the-century-style trick puppetry. The puppets will dance, play instruments, juggle, contort, transform, and fly through the air with the greatest of ease, all to the best-loved music of favorite composers, according to the town.

Tanglewood Marionettes was founded in 1993 by Anne Ware and Peter Schaeffer. The nationally touring marionette theater is based in Ware, Mass., and puts on performances of classic tales by some of the nation’s most skilled puppeteers.
