This December on Saturday the 4th at the Unadilla Valley Central School auditorium you can experience “The Christmas Carol”, a literary masterpiece that reaches far beyond the holiday season, when “The Puppet People” arrive with their oversized marionettes to warm your hearts with this Charles Dickens' holiday classic.

Look for mean old Scrooge as he discovers Christmas is not a HUMBUG after all.  This puppet spectacular features beautiful handcrafted marionettes, shadow puppets, gorgeous masks, lavish costumes, vivid sets, a professional soundtrack that includes many holiday favorites as well as a giant 9-foot parade puppet and guaranteed smile.
