Home About Charlotte Upcoming Performances

Charlotte Anne Dore blends puppetry, improvisation, music and storytelling into her energetic marionette shows. All the voices and singing are performed live. Rosalita's Puppets has performed all over New England.

Each marionette show is one of a kind because the audience is invited to answer questions from the puppets, sing along and actively participate throughout the whole marionette show. Marionette shows vary in length from 20-45 minutes and work best with an audience of no more than 100. Larger audiences can be accommodated depending on the type of stage and venue.

For the little ones Charlotte also presents the hand puppet storytelling show "Aunty Goose". (for a Photo click on "about charlotte" above)
