Be on the Look out for Stolen Puppets

First I want to spread the word about a theft that took place recently

to see pictures of the marionettes that were stolen

Dear Folks,

Approximately two weeks ago, the entire marionette cast of our production of "Cinderella" was stolen from our trailer in Roswell, GA.

There were a dozen puppets, ranging in size from 28" - 36" tall, and all costumed in fairly elaborate eighteenth-century style dress. They were bagged in dark maroon puppet bags.

Please keep your eyes peeled for these puppets, as we would dearly, dearly, dearly love to have them back!

For a group image of these marionettes, please visit http://www.tanglewoodmarionettes.com.

Thank you!

Please pass this onto others. A lot of work and craft went into these. Tanglewood Marionettes is a fine group of folk that really don’t deserve this to happen to them. If you happen to see them for sale somewhere say E-Bay, please inform Anne at puppetz@tanglewoodmarionettes.com.

I know I would be devastated if someone stole any of my puppets.

Worked on Goblin Armor for the most part yesterday. Also ran a few of those errands to keep the household moving forward. I think I am going to split my time today between painting some of the armor and cutting the rest of the cloth for costumes.

That's horrid!

Wow. That's really horrible. I can't imagine the amount of work that goes into a puppet and then to have so many stolen.

Completely unrelated: You seem really interesting, so I added you to my 'friends' list. I hope you do not mind. Feel free to add me or not depending on your whim.

Have they by any chance gotten in touch with the "Center for Puppetry Arts" in Atlanta? Its a long shot, but they might hear something or the theives might try to sell them to them.

cheers!
