Utah Marionette Theatre was founded by Nat Reed in November 2007 with the purpose of bringing puppetry and puppetry education to the schools, communities and people of Utah.
The first production was Alice in Wonderland produced under
the banner of The Saturday School of Puppetry, a collaboration with the Lehi Arts Council. The students designed, sculpted, painted, and strung their marionettes over the course of four months, January - April 2008. And then rehearsed and performed in May of 2008.

The second production was also done with students, except the time frame was shortened to three months due to performances for the Lehi Christmas Celebration. This production was an adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and we just finished our last performance this past weekend.
The next production will be work-shopped at the Salt Lake City Library Puppet Festival in March 2009, and will be an audience interactive play starring William Shakespeare, and performances of some of his works.
Now that we are caught up to the present, the future posts will chronicle the progress of the upcoming show.
