Longtime puppeteers Dan Peeler and Charlie Rose will present an assortment of Christmas classics performed by puppets on Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 3 and 4. 

This is the 34th year that the duo will perform at the Old Jail Art Center during the holiday season. 

“Bring the whole family and enjoy one of our annual holiday marionette shows with the master puppeteers from Peeler-Rose Productions,” said education director Erin Whitmore. 

The event is free and open to the public, and all ages are welcome.

Shows will take place at 9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 a.m. and at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 3. Performances are scheduled at the same four times on Wednesday, Dec. 4. 

Albany and Moran elementary students will be attending, along with local preschool classes, but Whitmore emphasized that home-schooled children and other pre-schoolers are invited as well.
