I have to admit that somehow I’ve never been to the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park. That’s about to change. I can no longer resist.

City Parks Foundation is proud to announce the holiday launch of The Three Bears Holiday Bash, a marionette production beginning November 16, 2010 at the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park.

The Three Bears Holiday Bash, is a variety show that celebrates the holiday season in song, dance, and puppetry. This production quickly becomes a comedy of errors when Baby Bear invites Santa to star in Mama and Papa Bears’ annual holiday show. Drawing from the stories of Hanukkah, the Night Before Christmas, and Kwanzaa, The Three Bears Holiday Bash is a great way to get in the season spirit.

Show times for The Three Bears Holiday Bash, beginning Tuesday, November 16, 2010 are Tuesday through Friday at 10:30am and 12:00pm, with an additional performance at 2:30 pm each Wednesday; and Saturday and Sunday at 1:00pm. The production will run through December 30, 2010.
