"Once Upon A Time" by Behind the Mask Theater

Date & Time: Thursday, June 9 at 6pm (Raindate Friday, June 10 at 6pm)
Location: Chuckie Harris Park, 3-17 Cross St E

A masque of magical stories from the Brothers Grimm ( The White Snake) and Italo Calvino (The Sultan Who Had an Itch), performed to music as old as the yarns themselves, but as new as the telling. Hark to the Hobgoblin, laugh with foolish Arlecchino, and understand the language of animals as they enchant you into a wondrous world of rags to riches, the hero’s quest, and true love lost and found. Join us for charming tales of fantasy, unlikely romance, and lessons about kindness and generosity. Charlotte Anne Dore of Rosalita's Puppets will be joining with puppetry, merriment, and song. Recommended for ages 5 and up

About the Series
As the summer season approaches, the Somerville Arts Council continues with one of its popular city-wide event series: Puppet Palooza! Events like this, along with PorchFEST and Dancing in the Streets allow the community to participate, interact, and engage in non-traditional ways in untraditional venues while cultivating the idea of Somerville as a cultural arts incubator without walls.

Puppet Palooza brings the art of puppetry to east Somerville in unexpected places. Join us in East Somerville for a five-part puppetry extravaganza. This June, we’ll hit the streets, courtyards and parks, showcasing local, national, and international performing companies. Great for kids and adults and 100% free.
