Puppet series returns to SCC

The Sonoma Community Center announced the return of its “Puppet Playhouse” series, a collection of family-friendly puppet shows offered in partnership with award-winning performing groups. On Sunday, Dec. 9, at 1 p.m. the center brings the fabled folktale “Aladdin.”

  In this popular legend from “The 1001 Arabian Nights,” young Aladdin thwarts an evil sorcerer, discovers a magical lamp, befriends a powerful genie and saves a princess.

  Utilizing dramatic staging, the Fratello Marionnettes will present this magical tale as it has never been seen before. 

  The Puppet Playhouse series will conclude with a creative twist on the familiar tale of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” Magical Moonshine Theater will restage this fairytale with a golden mischievous little dog at its center. “Puppylocks and the Three Bears” incorporates live music, singing and traditional Bohemian style marionettes on a tabletop stage. It will be presented Sunday, Jan. 13, at 1 p.m.

  Tickets are available at the Sonoma Valley Box Office with a 10 percent discount available for center and Sonoma Valley Mothers Club Members. Tickets are $10. Shows are recommended for those ages 4 and up.

To purchase tickets, call 938-4626, ext. 1; visit the Sonoma Valley Box Office at sonomacommunitycenter.org; or drop by the community center office at 276 E. Napa St., between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
