This modern-day fairy tale stars characters from the classic story, Goldilocks and The Three Bears. Our original production of The Big Good Wolf takes audiences on a journey into the enchanted forest where the wolf seeks the help of his fairy godmice to change from bad to good. In order to change, the fairygod mice send the wolf on an adventure to help Baby Bear and her friend Goldilocks. Can the wolf complete his mission and change in time to become The Big Good Wolf? "We are thrilled to be presenting this original production of The Big Good Wolf to audiences across New York City with our traveling PuppetMobile," said Bruce Cannon, Artistic Director of the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre. "Our vibrant scenes, delightful characters and captivating story will bring something special to NYC parks this summer."

About the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre The enchanting Swedish architecture and craftsmanship of the Swedish Cottage which was suggestive of a model schoolhouse caught the eye of Central Park creator Frederick Law Olmsted, who brought it to Central Park in 1877. A traveling marionette company was founded in 1939 and in 1947 the Swedish Cottage became home to the company. In 1973, a permanent theater was constructed inside the Swedish Cottage, designed for marionette performances. Since then, hundreds of thousands of children and families from around the world have enjoyed its original productions. Under the direction of City Parks Foundation, the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre and CityParks PuppetMobile continues to thrill audiences from around the world, entertaining upwards of 65,000 people each year.
