Durante los meses de mayo a octubre del 2022, el programa de marionetas móviles de City Parks visitará varios vecindarios de esta ciudad para presentar el show familiar Caperucita Roja. Por ejemplo, el miércoles 6 de julio se presenta en el Flushing Park, y el viernes 5 de agosto en el Travers Park de Jackson Heights, Queens. Hay funciones en inglés, español y mandarín.
City Parks Foundation is thrilled to announce CityParks PuppetMobile free and family friendly original marionette production – Little Red’s Hood – will resume this summer, beginning in May through October. Traveling to all five boroughs in New York City, Little Red’s Hood is a fresh retelling of the celebrated “Little Red Riding Hood” tale updated with a modern sensibility that will appeal to children growing up in New York City and will be offered in English, Spanish and Mandarin in select locations. A full list of dates, shows and times for the 80+ CityParks PuppetMobile performances from May through August can be found below and at cityparksfoundation.org/puppetmobile. Additional performances in September and October will be released at a later date.
The production, which returns to the PuppetMobile by popular demand, features a dozen, hand-made marionettes crafted by the expert puppeteers from the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre. In this story, Little Red is a smart, young city dweller who is obsessed with her smartphone. Wulfric, a misunderstood wolf with a sweet tooth, crosses paths with Little Red on her travels to deliver her Grandma cupcakes and the trouble begins. This story offers a comical lesson on the importance of disconnecting from our digital lives and enjoying real life moments with friends and family.
“The PuppetMobile is always a great source of joy for children and adults in parks all over New York City, and this summer will be no different,” said Bruce Cannon, Artistic Director of the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre. “Little Red’s Hood was such a big hit that there was no question of bringing it back this year with a full season of performances planned for May through October. With some performances translated in Mandarin and Spanish, we are able to expand our audience and introduce so many more families to our wonderful production.”
