The Bremen Town Musicians
Maritime Marionettes presents the favorite folktale
of an aging donkey who follows his dream to become
a musician. On the road to Bremen town, he befriends
a dog, a cat and a rooster who, like him, are no longer
needed as farm animals. Together they form
a comical quartet and a bond that will last the
rest of their lives.
Maritime Marionettes, a self-contained touring company,
has gained an international reputation for their artistic
excellence and high quality family entertainment giving
their audiences an opportunity to see a unique and
ancient art form brought to life at the hands of two
gifted puppeteers.
With a reputation that: "The quality of the performance
and the characters are second to none! The
artists to be highly professional, well rehearsed
and skilled performers. The audience, including
myself, sat in complete silence fully absorbed
by the performance and story content. The puppets
were extremely well crafted and contributed to
the overall appeal of the performance." the
Puppeteers Heather & Darryll
Taylor continue to bring magic to their audiences. Founded
in 1986 with the goal of producing and touring
quality marionette theater, the artists have produced
and performed eight shows (six of these were translated
and performed in French), developing a magical
style of performing together. Their company has
traveled nationally and internationally most recently
to Dubai and Monaco, acquiring an international
reputation for excellence in Marionette artistry.
The company creates its productions from concept
to finished product. This includes making and fashioning
the marionette figures that feature in the shows
to the sets, props and costuming of the productions.
