Discover the Classic Tale of Oliver Twist at the Center for Puppetry Arts, 2/28 – 3/5

Charles Dickens' classic novel Oliver Twist will come to life at the Center for Puppetry Arts for one week only, from February 28 - March 5. The show is performed by Simpich Marionettes out of Colorado Springs, Colo., and features David Simpich's ornate, hand-carved marionettes. In this one-man show, Simpich does double duty puppeteering his marionettes while performing as Dickens. As the narrator, he tells the tale of literature's famous orphan who escapes an orphanage only to find himself caught up in London's underground crime scene.
