Theatre's website
The National Marionette
Theatre is one of the oldest continually running marionette theaters in
the United States, entertaining audiences around the world with their
extraordinary productions for over forty years. The company has
received critical acclaim both here the United States and abroad and was
the first American Marionette Theater to receive the prestigious UNIMA
award for excellence in puppetry.
The story of Hansel
and Gretel has captured the imagination of audiences for generations.
In this newest NMT production, two master puppeteers bring the most famous
of the Grimm Brother’s stories to life. Featuring exquisitely crafted
marionettes, scrolling scenery and the beautiful music of Engelbert
Humperdinck, Hansel and Gretel is sure to delight audiences.
This show has been
slightly modified from the traditional "Brothers Grimm version,"
eliminating negative maternal stereotypes, and is deemed appropriate for
all ages.

and the Forty Thieves
learn about the March 31 Androscoggin
Dance performance of La Boutique Fantasque and How the Marigold Came To Be
- another great family performance.
