Testimonial
"Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions."
Description
Set in the eighteenth century and featuring lavishly costumed marionettes, this production of Cinderella is a Tanglewood Marionettes showpiece. The story unfolds as the pages of a giant book open to reveal each beautifully painted setting – the village square, the rustic kitchen, the magnificent ballroom, plus many more. All your favorite characters are here, from gentle Cinderella to the bumptious stepsisters and the charming Prince, and each marionette is manipulated with precision and grace by our talented puppeteers.

Technical Specifications
Tanglewood Marionettes is a fully self-contained theater. We travel with a complete marionette stage, which has its own integrated lighting and sound systems. The only things required from our sponsors are a ground floor (street level) performance space, and two standard electrical outlets – preferably on separate circuits – within 20 feet of the playing area.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
A level playing area 16 feet wide by 14 feet deep, with an unobstructed ceiling height of at least 12 feet
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Time needed for load-in and set up: one and one-half hours before the start of a school performance; two hours before the start of a public performance.
Time needed for strike and load-out: one hour after the final performance.
Our equipment is too heavy and large to negotiate long flights of stairs. A few steps up into a building or onto a stage are okay, but we cannot lift our equipment up to an upper-floor playing space.
Multiple performances, same title, same location:
