Puppet Show!
The Fratello Marionettes in "The Vaudeville Follies"

'The Vaudeville Follies' is a marionette variety show presented in the spirit of the old time music hall - one act after another with thrills for all the family. The show is filled with marionettes that range in size from one foot to three feet tall! Performances include singers, dancers, clowns, classical trick marionettes, and a trained dog, Puddles.

The puppeteers of Fratello Marionettes, Kevin Nenegus and Fred C. Riley III, design and build all their puppets, write their own plays and perform them with the skills they have perfected after years of study and performance with international puppet theaters. The troupe is from the San Francisco Bay Area and have not been on the North Coast since October of 2010. A treat for the whole family sponsored by First 5 Humboldt!
