Kick Off This Winter Season With The Family-friendly Marionette Show YETI, SET, SNOW

Yeti, Set, Snow! - an original story and marionette production produced by the City Parks Foundation - has officially made it's return to the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park!

There is no better way to kick off this winter season than with the adventures of young Widget and Twig on their first snow day.

Running now through February 23, 2020, Yeti, Set, Snow! is perfect for families with young children ages 3-8. Yeti, Set, Snow! tells the story of a young girl named Widget, and her friend, Twig, who encounter a yeti named Pascetti and pet cat, Tinsel Kitty, on the first snow day of the winter season. Pascetti, who lives on a mountaintop nearby, dislikes the snow. Through songs and snow day activities, Pascetti discovers not only that snow can be fun, but also learns the value of friendship.

"The Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre's original musical marionette production of Yeti, Set, Snow! debuted in 2018, and was a smash hit with many sold-out performances," said Artistic Director, Bruce Cannon. "So we could not be more excited to introduce more New York City families and children to this magical story and winter adventure."

Tickets are available online atwww.cityparksfoundation.org/arts/swedish-cottage-marionette-theatre and also at the door when available.
