The Fratello Marionettes captivated children with their artistry and storytelling in June, performing 15-minute mini puppet shows for each class in Bing’s atrium. The puppeteers also shared how to manipulate marionettes and answered children’s questions.
A band consisting of Bing associate director Beth Wise (playing the guitar), Bing music and movement specialist Mara Beckerman (ukulele), former Bing parents Leslie Hart (French horn) and Ben Wang (cello) and Bing head teacher Todd Erickson played and sang with children during mini children’s fairs held in each classroom May 12 and 13.
