==The Show==

First conceived in Norwich on Upper Loveland Road and performed all over Europe to the acclaim of high critics and the general public alike, the eternal drama of the Christ Child, his birth in a manger in Bethlehem (PA?) and the visit from three kings (distracted from Pizza Hut even!) is retold using the limited emotive power of hand-made marionettes. For pieces of wood, it sure is fetching tho. And it just wouldn't be Christmas without this show. Join us!

<blockquote>"This familiar story told in refreshingly iconoclastic manner...talented experts in the field of the Italian “fantoccini” will render such illusions as were only thought possible in the “Arabian Nights” on a marvelously decorated and ingeniously constructed Theater in Miniature that has been constructed especially for The Main Street Museum...This production is of the highest drama and buffoonery that diminutive, wooden blocks on strings have ever attempted in the entire Upper Valley.
