Peter and the Wolf by Mark Blashford Marionettes

Mark Blashford Marionettes presents an Appalachian adaptation of Peter and the Wolf, featuring hand-carved wooden puppets and a reclaimed barn-board set. While staying true to the original story and music created by Sergei Prokofiev in 1936, this classic tale familiarizes children with the instruments of the orchestra in a charming performance for the whole family.
