BrooklynPuppetworks is a puppet company gaining a national reputation, and works out ofBrooklyn.Puppetworks Offers An AfternoonOf Beauty %u2014 No Strings AttachedBY DOROTHY WHITMORE%u201cSomeday my prince will come,%u201d goesthe old Disney tune and last Sunday at theFirst Reformed Church in Park Slope thePrince not only came, but battled his waythrough tribulations and terrors to save thePrincess%u2019s life. This was no ordinaryPrincess, but one asleep for 100 years. Andto the boys and girls of Park Slope %u2014 fromeight months to eight years old %u2014 all themagic of the old fairy tale, %u201cThe SleepingBeauty,%u201d sprang Vividly to life on themarionette stage.The intrepid prince puppet in this production sported red hair and enormous blueeyes; while the Queen of the Fairiespossessed a velvety voice along with asilver and blue rainment. The Princess, ofcourse, had long platinum hair, was dressedin pink chiffon and silver sequins, and had asweet soprano voice. All the children booedas the Prince vanquished his final foe, ascary yellow dragon, right in the Princess%u2019sbed chamber. And enthusiastic applauseand squeals echoed through the house asthe Princess awakened with a kiss.Five-year-old Jasmine Mitchell %u201cliked it alot,%u201d and especially liked the good fairy.Jasmine was attending the show with herparents. A more seasoned theatergoer,eight-year-old Christopher Scott Colon,compared %u201cThe Sleeping Beauty%u201d to hisfirst show, %u201c Rumpelstiltkin,%u201d and %u201cBeauty%u201dcame out ahead. This sentiment was echoedby his five-year-old sister Jennifer, who added to her brother%u2019s synopsis.%u201cThe Sleeping Beauty%u201d is the first production this season of Puppetworks, aBrooklyn based company headed byNicholas Coppola. Relaxing after the performance, Coppola stated, %u201cWe%u2019ve been working under this name for five years. Beforethen we were known as the NickeliMarionettes. We travel all over the eastcoast,%u201d he said, %u201cand as far west asMichigan and as far south as Louisiana.%u201dPresently, Puppetworks has a tradingagreement with the Dallas Puppet Theatre.They%u2019ve loaned Puppetworks their %u201cThePatchwork Girl of Oz%u201d in exchange for Puppetworks %u201cPinocchio%u201d and %u201cThe MagicFlute,%u201d a musical.The current show, which Coppola characterized as %u201cfairy tale medieval,%u201d runsthrough the end of October. A countrywestern style %u201cWizard of Oz%u201d with originalmusic will follow, playing through theholidays. %u201cThat is set in turn of centuryAmericana as we try to match the era tothe story,%u201d he added. Besides performing atthe First Reformed Church on CarrollStreet, the troupe will give a concert of%u201cThe Nutcracker%u201d at Cami Hall in Manhattan in December, and will be part of theSanta Clause theatre in Macy%u2019s during theChristmas season.How did Coppola get to be a puppeteer?A more seasoned theatergoer,Christopher Scott Colin,com pared'The Sleeping Beauty'to his first show 'Rumpelstiltken'a n d 'Beauty' came out ahead.%u201cThere was no formal course of study, but Iapprenticed with the Suzari Marionettes ofNew York,%u201d related the 32-year veteranpuppetmaster, who regularly teaches acourse in puppetry at Kingsborough Community College.Putting a production together isn%u2019t easy.Rehearsals run approximately 10 days fromconstruction to assemblage, costuming andvoice and hand coordination.
