Famous Marionet Troupe To Appear In Millershurg

William Shakespeare will appear under the sponsorship of the Millersburg Business and Professional Woman’s Club at the Millersburg Gym on October 8, 1948 at 8 p.m.

He will be in the form of a puppet, and will introduce his own play, “The Taming of the Shrew,” to be performed with puppets by Martin & Olga Stevens, internationally famous puppeteers. In this amusing version of the illustrious Shrew, Mr. Shakespeare has some difficulty in getting enough players together and has to round out the cast by playing several of the. roles himself. The treatment is broad, and the other characters have little respect for the Imnfortal Bard’s lines or his person. In fact, between the arguments in the play and the explosive temperaments of the actors, the session threatens to become a free-for-all at any moment. The Stevenses have staged this play with boisterous lightheartedness, and it has been gaily received wherever it has been shown. As in all of the Stevens productions, it is presented for adult audiences, and children may attend only with their parents.
