Rosalita's puppets presents puppet shows for all groups. Each show is highly interactive and customised for the audience so no show is ever the same. There are over 20 different marionette shows to choose,ranging from the ever popular " Sea Story" to " Rudolph the Red Nosed Dragon". Rosalita's Puppets was founded by actor/ puppeteer Charlotte Anne Dore in 1993 and since then she has performed with her puppets all over new England at festivals, libraries, birthday parties and museums.
For the little ones Charlotte has various storytelling programs presenting stories in character with hand puppets and props as" Aunty Goose " or " Holiday Elf" or " Fairy Godmother" etc.
In every show all the puppet voices and songs are performed live. Charlotte also builds, designs and writes her shows. For this reason she can provide full pakages including shows and puppet making workshops. Charlotte is also a member of Puppeteers of America, Boston Area Guild of puppeteers, SAG,AFTRA and American Actors Equity.

Additional Content:

  • The Sea Story

    This short improvised excerpt from The sea story gives you an idea. I filmed this myself using a stand and a camera that i later had to return so the puppet does go off camera a bit. but you get the idea. All my shows are improvised around a format.
