AUBURN — The Auburn Public Library is hosting The Tanglewood Marionettes in a performance of “The Fairy Circus,” at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 13.
The performance is an 80th birthday celebration for long-time community volunteer Pat Masonheimer, and will be at Schaeffer Theatre at Bates College on 329 College St., Lewiston.
The performance begins with a brief demonstration of the art of puppetry. Through humorous interplay, the audience will learn about various forms of puppets, from the simple glove puppet to the sophisticated marionette. 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.
Birthday cake and juice will follow the performance. Tickets are available in the children’s room of the library, with a suggested donation of $2 to benefit children’s programming. Call the library at 207-333-6640 ext. 3 or stop by to reserve tickets. All are welcome. The event is co-sponsored by the Masonheimer/Wallace family.
