Today’s show was phenomenal!!! My 6-year-old came home raving about it – she had to tell me, then her brother and then my husband and she tried to re-enact parts of the performance. Very cool show. Can’t wait to bring them back next year.
Perseus and Medusa was terrific and I am so pleased that we were able to still have this program and share it with our third graders. The kids really loved seeing the show and the question and answer session at the end was great too. Peter is sensational. It was also really nice that the in class kids could join with our completely remote students. Can't wait to arrange next year's big show!
The Tanglewood Marionettes just finished 3 shows of Perseus and Medusa at Westfield Middle School. The adaptation of the story, the beautiful artistry of the marionettes and sets were incredible and perfect for this age group. Staff and students were mesmerized by their performance. Peter and Anne also graciously answered many questions after each show. I have been a fan of theirs for years, but to see them perform live after this L-O-N-G year was so uplifting and enjoyable. I speak for our entire school community when I say THANK YOU for a wonderful day.
I am over the moon about how it matches the third grade curriculum. The scenery and the craftsmanship of the whole production is incredible. It is truly my favorite day each year. This might be our 7th year seeing Perseus and Medusa. I love it and laugh every single time. We made puppets after the show for the last two years too. Just awesome! The kids are glued to the show! Thank you for answering so many questions at the end!
