Yorick's Marionettes production of "Sleeping Beauty"  - Geared for children

This adaptation of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale is beautifully presented with hand carved wooden marionettes. The King and Queen of a beautiful kingdom rejoice in the birth of their baby daughter, who they name Aurora. At the celebration marking the event, three fairies bestow good whishes for the baby’s future when a witch appears. The witch announces that Aurora will prick her finger to the needle of a spinning wheel and then fall into eternal sleep.
The God-mother fairy counters the curse: A handsome, charming Prince from a far away kingdom will find Aurora, fall in love and wake her with a kiss.

Adaptation: Agnes Novak
Marionettes carved by Dusan Petran

“Pinocchio”  - Geared for elementary and middle school students, grades pre-K - 8.

Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio is the timeless tale of an Italian woodcarver, Geppetto, who carves a son out of a block of pine. Join the wooden marionette on his journey to become a real boy! Through Pinocchio’s mischievous adventures, he discovers that to truly be human is to be good-hearted and brave. This is a story of self-discovery, transformation, and redemption. Through this play, we hope to teach students the importance of honesty, education, and gratitude.
