The Friends of the Goodnow Library are pleased to announce the second program in a series of free programs made possible by a generous bequest from Stella and Frank Ricciardi. These free programs are part of the Ricciardi Family Program Series.
On Sunday, January 21, 2024 at 3 pm, Tanglewood Marionettes will perform The Dragon King in the Ephraim Curtis Middle School Auditorium, 22 Pratts Mill Road, Sudbury. Seating will be first come, first served.
A terrible drought has overtaken the land, and all the world has turned brown and lifeless. The Dragon King is ruler over all things water, and the people are beginning to wonder why he has not brought the life-giving rains in such a very long time.
An underwater fantasy based on Chinese folklore, The Dragon King tells the tale of an intrepid Grandmother who journeys to the bottom of the sea in search of the elusive Dragon King and the answers to why he has forsaken the land above. Colorful sea creatures, an exciting adventure, and a Dragon King that will knock your socks off! All this and more can be found in this award-winning production.
This program is appropriate for children in grades Pre-K-grade 6. Teens and adults will also enjoy not only the story, but also the artistry and technical elements of the program. Please join us for this very special family event.
Founded in 1993 by Anne Ware and Peter Schaefer, Tanglewood Marionettes is a marionette theater based in New England. Their repertoire consists primarily of classic tales performed by skilled puppeteers who have spent many years perfecting their art. They have toured throughout the United States.
