Our three story themes . . .

EASTER

A Sight to See

Benjamin is a young blind boy. His brother Judah has little sympathy for his handicap. That all changes on a trip to the fields and an encounter with the Master. This original tale was written by director Dave Payne by blending Bible accounts leading up to Jesus' death and resurrection. This half-hour family-friendly show features over a dozen colorful, hand-crafted marionettes who team up to show how Jesus changes lives. Enjoy the magic of this new Easter story.

Marionette puppetry is becoming a rare art form. Only a few troupes in our home state of Wisconsin perform marionettes these days. Fox Folk Marionettes (originally the All Saints Marionettes) debuted in 1965! We are celebrating over fifty years in the performing arts! Many of the original puppets and props are still used in today's shows.

 

Fox Folk Marionettes owns over fifty hand-crafted marionettes that were lovingly created by the members of All Saints Episcopal Church in Appleton and by the late Bruce and Barbara Purdy.  Our colorful, hand-crafted, and family-friendly marionettes stand 12-18 inches tall. FFM&F has a repertoire of several different shows which allows our faithful fans to enjoy a new experience each season. Please see Fox Folk Shows for show summaries.


All of our shows run about a half hour and feature between 10-20 marionettes. For groups that are looking for longer show times, we do offer options that can extend our performances to 45 minutes.
