SCERA Showhouse II

Don't miss The Great Puppet Follies, a puppet variety show featuring performances by puppeteers from all over the state of Utah.

We are also pleased to announce that our headline performer will be The Fratello Marionettes. The Fratello Marionettes produce high quality marionette shows using the “cabaret style” of manipulation. In this truly American style the puppet and puppeteer perform in full view of the audience. Their shows present intricately handcrafted marionettes that range in size from one foot to three feet tall. Shows are geared for children of all ages, and some of our work is performed without dialog. These music-based programs are designed to surmount the language barrier. Founder Kevin Menegus developed his unique style of puppetry while performing throughout the world. Kevin has studied with puppeteers Tony Urbano, Bob Baker, Randall Metz and Lewis Mahlmann.

The Fratello Marionettes will also perform on Friday, April 29th @ 3pm. Tickets for this performance are $3.00/person. This would be a great performance for home school famlies to enjoy!
