Puppet Festival Comes To Orlando

This weekend the city of Orlando hosts its first International Puppet Festival beginning this weekend at The Orlando Repertory Theatre and The Orlando Shakespeare Theatre in Loch Haven Park. Puppetering troupes from Spain, France, Canada and Mexico each will take the stage in performance, with time for a workshop or audience questions afterward. To be sure, these are no Muppets from Sesame Street; these are serious marionettes doing serious stage work here.

One highlight from the festival comes from the Bob Theatre from France. They are scheduled to perform their interpretation of “Nosferatu,” the original adaptation of the work most of us know better as “Dracula.” It’ll be interesting to see how they present the Nosferatu character, chillingly played by Max Schreck in F.W. Murnau’s 1922 classic film; you know, he was the guy coming through that door who looked very much like the one in the oft-stolen Edvard Munch painting “The Scream.”

A wonderful gated community in Orlando. A fine selection of luxury vacation villas in Orlando Florida.
