Wood & Strings Theater
Wood & Strings Theatre is a national touring company offering extraordinary performances in the art of the puppet. Clarissa Lega and Leon Fuller’s 22 years working this form translates into a spellbinding experience for the audience. Theatre, interpreted with visually splendid articulated figures, brings the essence of the story to a new dimension. Four highly trained artists bring sculpture to life with fluid movement. As a reference, they have performed at National Geographic Live! in Washington, DC, four consecutive years, to sold out audiences. They have also performed at the Detroit Institute of Art.

OUT OF THE MIST...A DRAGON
Story by Clarissa Lega
Script by Dana Dye
Artistic Director Leon Fuller
Produced originally and touring nationally since 1988.
Using elegant reproductions of the classic Bunraku puppets of Japan, a romantic drama unfolds that reaches into the world of myth and legend to portray a young man’s journey of self-discovery. His encounters with traditional folk puppets from North America, England and Indonesia give exotic glimpses of puppetry styles rarely seen in this country and unravel a universal story unbound by borders.

This main stage marionette production is a heartwarming and humorous show that takes the imagination to a sunny morning in the Hill Country. From the front porch of his cabin, a country storyteller named Grandpa Will spins his tall tales of adventure and excitement. The lively antics of Grandpa Will's family, friends and ole hound dog enthrall all those who "happen by".
