## About

Fratello Marionettes bring their winter show The North Pole Review to East San José Carnegie Branch Library. The music-based marionette production features Crystal Chandelier the ice skater, high-kicking Russian Trepak dancers and a trio of acrobatic penguins, with the puppeteers working in full view of the audience so children can see how the marionettes move. About an hour long and aimed at school-age kids; a good first live puppet show.
