A beary fun holiday bash

These bears sure know how to party.

The talented people at the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park invite you to get in the holiday spirit with the marionette production of “The Three Bears Holiday Bash,” now through Dec. 30.

Experience all the fun and error that occurs when Baby Bear invites Santa to Mama and Papa Bears’ Christmas Show. With song, dance and puppetry, the story draws inspiration from Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza.

“As one of the most fascinating children’s theatres in the country, the Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre in Central Park is the perfect place to tell this vibrant seasonal story,” said David Rivel, executive director of City Parks Foundation.

This spin on the classic “Goldie Locks and the Three Bears” brings a diverse community together to celebrate the holidays.
