Tales from the Enchanted Forest |
|
Tales from the Enchanted Forest is an thirty minute
performance featuring two original fairy tales written by Nick Barone. Told with humor,
music and twenty of Nick Barone's beautifully crafted puppets, this family puppet show
consists of two separate stories: The Biggest Little Bug and
The Grumpy Old Tree.
The two stories are followed by a behind the scenes look at the puppet
show. At birthday parties, the children receive a coloring sheet filled
with drawings of the puppets. |
|
The first story, The Biggest Little Bug, is an original fable of a little bug who thinks he is a little bit too small compared to all the other bugs in the Enchanted Forest, and he wants to grow up. |
The little bug asks his friend, the Pixie of the Enchanted
Forest, if she could make him bigger. And she does. |
 |
 |
After some adventures, the biggest little bug lets out a mighty ROAR
and scares away the hungry frog. But this is not the end of our story... |
The second story in this show, The Grumpy Old Tree, is another of Nick Barone's original stories. It tells the
tale of a tree who is one thousand years old. After one thousand years
of growing in the enchanted forest, he has gotten a bit grumpy. |
 |
 |
The Fairy Godfather teaches the tree a lesson about his role in the
forest, and helps him to be a little less grumpy. |

Behind the Scenes After the performance, Nick removes the stage curtains and demonstrates
the puppets he designs and builds specifically for his original productions. Nick will demonstrate how he operated his puppets
during the performance and explain a little about how he constructed them. Audiences are constantly thanking Nick after the performance for showing them how the show works. Many confess they enjoy the behind-the-scenes explanation afterwards as much as they enjoyed performance itself. This optional demonstration adds approximately10-15 minutes to the length of the presentation. Tales from the Enchanted Forest |
