“An Arabian Adventure” tells the tale of a prince who is thrown into a dungeon because of his love for a beautiful princess.

Facing danger at every turn, the courageous prince must battle his way out of the underground prison to save his princess from a tragic fate.

The production features over a dozen beautifully hand-crafted marionettes, exquisite “story-book” style scenery, and a soundtrack that combines traditional Western and Middle Eastern music.

Recommended for everyone ages 4 and up.

Founded in 1993 by Peter and Anne Schaefer, Tanglewood Marionettes is a
nationally touring marionette company whose unique productions have been seen by hundreds of thousands of children and families across the
country.

With seven shows currently in their repertoire, the company
performs year-round at venues ranging from school assemblies to renowned cultural institutions.

Performer Peter Schaefer was born into a
Boston-area family of puppeteers and has visited Puppet Showplace since
he was a child.

After apprenticing with the Bennington Puppets, Peter
launched his own company, “Mountain Marionettes,” before joining with
Anne Schaefer and fellow Bennington puppeteer Stephen Hancock to form
Tanglewood Marionettes.

Performer Jennifer Tebo discovered her
love of puppetry while pursuing a degree in Theater and Classical
Studies at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.

She has been
touring with Tanglewood Marionettes since 2004 and plans to spend a
lifetime in puppetry.

The company has received two UNIMA awards,
puppetry's highest honor, for their productions An Arabian Adventure and The Dragon King.

Tanglewood Marionettes believes above all that a performance is a communal experience, with connections established
not only with the performers, but also between members of the audience
themselves as they laugh together, gasp together, and cheer together
when the good guys prevail!
