Sandglass Theater’s beloved Winter Sunshine series kicks off the 12th season of puppet shows with The Fairy Tailor by Sarah Nolan on Saturday February 9th at 11 am and 2 pm at Sandglass Theater in the heart of Putney.

Magical beings are known for their great sense of fashion. But who stitches together all of their stories? Meet the Fairy Tailor, hard at work in her enchanted shop. Watch as everyday garments become extraordinary characters, and share stories of bravery, from “Little Red Riding Hood(ie),” to “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” With the audience’s help, the Fairy Tailor summons the courage to take a stand against a giant, crafting a solution that combines cleverness with creativity. This colorful, interactive production is guaranteed to inspire audiences of all ages.

With this workshop, you can make a show and take it to go! Workshop fee $10. To sign up contact info@sandglasstheater.org or call 802 387 4051.
