Hey Ted, I am glad to see the website is still up. I stage managed a few shows for you in 93-94. Verdi's Macbeth, Madama Butterfly, and Amahl and the night visitors, before I went off to school in San Diego. I always talk/think about NEM with warm feelings. It is a shame it met such a tragic end. Jay Crosley

Good Day! Foudn the site by accident but am happy that I did. It helps to bring back the wonderful memories that I had while in that neck of the woods (born in Boston). The remarkable thing about your site is that it reconnected me with a VERY dear friend that I had lost in my youth of stupdify, Ms. Marsha Cormier. It was nice to see her. Even though an old picture, it bought back a lot of time. Anyway, THANK YOU for sucha great site and for my "reunion" of sorts.

I have often thought of the company and this morning finally found your site. I had heard about the devistating fire and was sadden to say the least. My experiences that year of the fire with the group was a memory that will always stay with me. Talent like no other, and a place like no other there will be. I am proud to say that I was a part of the group, auditioning and learning the skill of puppeteer that year and the experience gave me great insight and talent that I still carry with me today. If you do have another site or have a website, please let me know. God Bless You and Keep You Company in all that you do. Sincerely, Calista Povacz

Had a tour through the Salzburg Marionette Opera - yours was (is?) better. Evidently you've had a fire - are you going to, or have you rebuilt? I've been involeved with puppets, the marionettes since I was in third grade - and I'm older than God now. Won't attempt opera, though I love it, but hope to start one of my own plays soon. Please answer whether you still have shows in New Hampshire or not - would love to attend.

I find myself deeply saddened at the destruction of a fine arts theater work. I have always loved the fine arts completed with that of performing arts. To me that is the ultimate show of the total art world. When I was a little boy we had Punch and Judy puppets with the playhouse our parents had gifted us. Why not have a new playhouse? Whether in Boston or in Providence, you have fine artists all over from Boston to Rhode Island School of Design. The arts thrive in our New England culture. It would be especially keen to see productions treating the regional histories from colonial times throughout to the present day of the joys and sorrows of living in the northeast with an edification to the benefit of future generations of children who will be never to forget such a wonderful experience as puppet theaters can only do. Thanks for showing your site to me, its beautiful work.

Hello, I came across your website and in hopes of attending the shows and then read of the tragic loss of it all. I am so sorry to know that it was destroyed and that I will never be able to attend and enjoy the artistry and music and ambiance of your theater. My mother sang opera and I have seen such marionettes as a young child and was quite excited to have come across your website. Again I am saddened by your losses both theatrical and historical and artistic. I am glad that you have left the website up and running as I was able to enjoy the flavour of it all thru the site.

I learned to love Opera at the Theatre. I learned that puppets could be more sublime than most actors. I learned that if you have a vision you can do it... okay there may be timeframe frustrations... but that Ted's vision was what it was all about. I think of the puppeteers who had never manipulated a puppet before and in time moved an audience to joy and laughter and tears. I think of the amazing craftmanship of the puppets and all the unrecognized energy that went into every performance. I think about these things and will for my whole life...I finally thought it timely to leave these thoughts. Thanks, Ted... My time as a puppeteer afterwards and my creativity today is in part due to your enthusiasm and vision. I will think of you when I get to Salzburg. Best of Wishes and memories.

First visit to your lovely site, searching a Madame Butterfly link. I am sorry sorry about your fire,and the site notes look like you have taken the philosophical approach and accepted it as a cue to "go on to other things". Your marioinettes are lovely,and the art of the Marionette is a very special one. You seem,at the site, to be thoughtfully paying the visitor off to other makers of marionettes.
If that is the case, best wishes in your new endeavors.

I can hardly bring myself to think about your catastrophe. If it had happened to me I'd be a wreck for years... hope you're stronger than I! I have loved marionettes (not so much puppets) all my life, made and operated marionettes as a child, but later life has not left me time to indulge this interest. I've often dreamed how wonderful it would be to present opera with marionettes but for a long time I only knew about the Salzburg tradition. Then just when I found out about NEMO and was half-serious about flying out there and throwing myself on your mercy, you were gone! It would be silly of me to say it hurt me as much as you, but I have trouble believing otherwise! Please accept my long-withheld condolences. Your tragedy broke my secret marionettist's heart.

I was fortunate enough to see one of the last performances of Barber of Seville before the tragedy and feel lucky that I had the opportunity to see such magic when it was still possible. I sincerely hope that you change your mind and try to rebuild, although I'm sure it would take years and be very expensive. Good luck with whatever creative ventures you are now engaged in.

I just want to say that I am delighted and, at the same time, heart-broken at this find. I wish I had known about your company before the opera house burnt down! What a shame! Since my early youth, I put on home-made performances for family and friends. At first, we started with hand puppets but our last performances were marionettes. They were quite intricate for a home-made performance. We made them all ourselves and friends helped with stage building,scenery painting and music accompaniment. We just had a lot of fun. But it was work!
I always admired the Salzburg Marionettes but had no idea we had something similar here in the States.
I have recently married and moved to Louisiana and met a whole new crowd of wonderful families and...am getting the marionette itch again. So, I tapped the internet and found your website.
I must say that just the website idea is a great inspiration. I wish you the best and if you ever resurrect the opera, I would love to know. I work for a magazine as writer and illustrator and am sending you the email adress above. You can reach me there. Also, if you would have any info. on marionette suppliers and such, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,

What a heart-rending but ultimately gracious and inspiring memorial website! I have just returned from Prague, where I saw marionettes perform the opera Don Goivanni. Your own beautiful marionettes and physical theatre may be gone, but they endure in the hearts and memories of those who were fortunate enough to enjoy them in person, and they are imortalized in other minds through these lovely web pages, which I hope will be maintained permanently by you and your descendants, or others who appreciate the importance of preserving our history. I suspect and pray that you are on to other rewarding adventures, and you might at some time want to post a note on that subject.

I'm glad to have the internet in my on room and on my own computer so I can go to "marionettes.com". Today, on July 14, 2002, my dad, brother, sister, and I went to Long Grove and saw a marionette show. Only one guy did all marionettes. There were definetly more than 10 marionettes. After the show, I asked my dad where I could get one. I have a question: why do marionettes cost so much? Is it because they are handmade? Or because how large or small they are? Or is it because how they look? If they are ugly puppets, why would someone want to buy it? Are people trying to get more money from other people? Because, in my own opinion, I really do love marionettes. But if you think about it, these puppets are just made from a branch. Wood! So.... would you want to pay $50 dollars for a puppet? If you think about it, again, you're paying $50 dollars for just a thick stick! Altough, some marionettes are rare dolls. And I respect that certain price if they're original. But I just wanted to know why these dolls are around 25-50 dollars. I hope you took the time to read this. Sorry if there are spelling errors. Thank you for letting me sign your guestbook.

Often times in the wake of destruction, certain good things happen.As aveteran of the puppet theatre arts, and in these times of declining interest of the art,we should come together with resources and talent alike to reinstill interests and enthusiasm ( grant money) to begin again in a much broader light. Come to grips with tragedy, your pain is our pain and in this wierd and wacky world, anything can happen. The question is,do you want it bad enough? The puppet community needs people with your dedication and commitment. Never get off the boat....

My Mother,gina, and my 7 month old sister, Kai, persuaded me,Rachel,to help them ( the computer illiterate)go online in hope of finding out more about puppetry;a field my mother is very interested in working in, being an established sculptor for almost 20 years.But, Being the self-proclaimed cynic that I am (and a 17 year old, which doesn't help) I hurriedly went through each site with my poker face on. Upon reaching your site, however, I found my first interesting and seemingly charming look at the world of puppetry. The Magic Makers gallery was quite cute and each of us deemed it a shame that you are no longer in production.If you could contact us, via e-mail about any company you are currently working in we would love to hear from you. Thank-you, Rachel, Gina, and Kai P.s I'm into the Theatre Arts, myself, and will be a Literary Major Next fall in college

Hello. I'm so sorry to hear about your unfortunate fire. I was searching the web for puppet theatres in my area. I go to Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams. I am a Fine and Performing Arts Major here. I am presently taking a class called intro to Arts Managment, and as our final project we have to take an idea and see what it would take to make it happen. This means everything down to training, permits, finances. My idea is to start a puppet theatre that goes to hospitals where children have to stay for a long period of time, perform for them and then help them make their own puppets.i was just wondering if anyone could give me a little information on any training you've had for this type of puppetry and although your theatre is sadly no longer operating how successful it was. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks a lot. -MaryBeth Makara

my grandfather toured Europe and Russia in the 1800s with his marrionette show. He suffered a similar fate as yours, infact his show was burnt down twice. He rebuilt on both occaisions but it was World War 1 that ended his marionettes when his sons went to war. This was in England but I believe that they originated in Italy,which their name suggests I believe that a history has been written about the marionettes in which Harry Wilding and his show is featured. Great to see that they have such a following in the USA.

So sorry for your loss. I used to have a children's theatre and did not have a fire but had to stop due to lack of support. I know how you must have felt as stopping that was a major upset for me but at least I didn't have to see everything destroyed. Puppets and marrianets are wonderful. As a former nurse I used them with my patients and even the adults loved them although some wouldn't admit it. Hope your life is going well.

Dear Ted and Roger, I think of you every now and then and wonder what you two are doing now? I took an absence from puppetry for about half a year. Now I am starting to practice again and overcome my rustiness. Then I will perform. Besides that I am a distributer for a health and nutrition company. I also wonder what happened to the troup? Lorraine, Kellan, Kristine.
It was a good experience for me to perform with everybody. An aria that sticks in my head is Sorelle Vagabonde. I tried looking for that aria a couple of times and could not find a copy of it.
Well, I hope some time to hear what everybody is up to.

Dear Ted, I've been collecting marionettes. When I was in elementary school, I saw a marionette show in one of the classrooms. I also saw Mozarts's "The Magic Flute", that was performed by the Salzburg Marionettes, at the Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College. Someday, you should perform some children's fairy tales, for example: "Hansel and Gretal".

I'm a graduate student at Queens College, Flushing, NY, and I'm majoring in English: Creative Writing. In fact, last spring my one-act play, SHUA: THE LAMB OF FREEDOM, about the first Passover, was produced as a puppet play at my church as part of our Easter Sunday services. Currently I'm taking a course, From Literature to Opera, comparing great epic poems, novels, plays, etc. and the libretti and music of the operas they've inspired. For this course I'm searching the Internet for sites about American Opera, and came upon your site.
It's really sad that your operation was destroyed. It's a clever and original idea, and perhaps one or several of you will try it again. Meanwhile, I think you could: 1) write a book about your troupe, 2) fix up the surviving puppets and put them in a museum, 3) sell videos of performances, if such videos exists. If you have enough photos of your performances, you could even publish books with the puppets illustrating the stories of the operas. They could be best sellers!

I read about the fire a couple of months ago, and mourn the loss of your puppets. I too, am a builder and the love and time that go into building is a birth process. I can just imagine the pain of the loss of that body of work. If it were me, I know I should be devastated, but I also know I would look at it trying to find the hidden opportunity that lurks in the underbelly of the tradegy. Knowing that somewhere in this experience I was being given the opportunity to shift my life (whether or not I wanted that). That doesn't make your loss any easier, and is not meant to be a light-hearted comment. Just that we can never really know whether our misfortunes do not hold somewhere in the experience, the seeds of a gem. I hope your path leads you to center of the jewel.

Ted, I have just read your announcement concerning the termination of New England Marionette Theatre. I am deeply and personally saddened by this news. Over the years that I/we (Opera Worcester) have attended your productions I have found each succeeding offering more entrancing, more magical, more thoroughly enjoyable than the previous. And I have always marvelled at the exquisite professionalism of your entire crew. The departure of your theatre and performers from the unique niche which you occupied leaves a void which cannot be soon filled; and if so; by what?? I used to look forward with great anticipation to that time of year when we would make our annual pilgrimage to your theatre. I am certain that when Autumn comes each year; when the leaves display their reds and golds and oranges; I will recall fond memories of the red velvets seats, the aroma of spiced cider, the appearnce of the wee conductor, the almost real singers on stage,... God Speed to you and Roger. May you prosper in what ever next you invest your talents. If in your travels you find yourself near Worcester or Springfield please get in touch. I would consider it an honor to have you attend one of our operas or just to gab for a bit. mispah! Henry H.

The marionette theatre was truly one-of-a-kind and nothing short of genius.

If anyone is interested in a great investment opportunity, I would urge you to contact Ted Leach and see about investing the money to enable him to start his theatre anew.

And a "thermometer" display of goals set and closenenss to reaching them wouldnm't hurt either - goals such as money, of course, but also gathering together fabrics, decorations, jewelry and other necessities for rebuilding the marionettes, and another for building material donations, and another for music, sound equipment, wiring, etc. etc. As a member of the Actorsingers and Nashua Choral Society, I have some idea of what is needed, and some sources to inform and beg and wheedle donations from, potentially.

I lost some marionettes in a fire at sea on the Achille Lauro and that was pretty terrible - but to lose a theatre and whole cast of puppets - all that work, all that creativity! It's bereavement.

We're shocked and dismayed by the fire and the loss of over 200 of your precious marionettes. Please tell us how we can help to get you back on your feet and to continue your wonderful shows. We enjoyed both The Marriage of Figaro in Boston and Amahl in Peterborough. We are still looking forward to Porgy and Bess in 1999, and hope it's still possible. Do not be discouraged. You have lots of friends.

Hello--I just checked into the Web site, at the behest of the founder. I am an ancient boyhood friend, and we are both astonished to see that we each grew up to be adults with more or less serious aspirations. Congratulations, Ted, on a wonderful concept and bringing it to fruition. Reminds me of the Bill Baird puppets long ago on Walter Cronkite's CBS Morning Show. They occasionally did opera, too, but mostly for laughs.

My first knowledge of your theater..thrilled it exists. I am an opera lover and make 24 inch marionettes and do opera scenes for schools, retirement homes, art associations, civic groups..found you on internet today(4/28) You should do a book on it. There are so few books anymore on puppetry. I taught college art in Indiana and we offered a course in creative puppetry. I was incluenced by two people(now dead) who were members of the PofA ..Vivien Michael and Marjorie Batchelder. both of Columbus, Ohio. Wopuldnt Turandot be agreat vehicle for puppets? I also am a chalk artist and illustrate operatic scenes on a huge easel with colored lighting ussing background music as I draw. No one does this as far as I know..I do Hansel & Gretel; Turandot; Nabucco; Carmen; Walkure; Gotterdammerung,etc. Keep up the great work.

My husband and I attended your October production of TOSCA and found it to be delightful and enchanting. As long-time season ticket-holders of opera tickets to the Metropolitan Opera in New York, we have seen many performances of TOSCA, but few as innovative and charming. We yelled "BRAVO!" and "BRAVA!" as we would at the Met, as the little hero and his diva took their bows. They were "real people" to us by then, and yes, we cried when Tosca threw her curse to Scarpia and met her fate. We were hooked by then, and treated two of our friends to AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS in December. Our friends were as thrilled as we at your production. (Amahl, the camel, and the cat stole the show! Isn't it true that performers should never appear with animals and children??!!) Our friends will return of their own accord, I am sure, and they will bring their friends with them, next time. Even our crustiest acquaintances, who have traveled the world in order to attend opera performances at Covent Garden, La Scala, Staatoper, and Bayreuth, melted at our description of your wonderful presentations. They have promised us that they will "go to the opera in Peterborough". Note that they didn't say "puppet opera", they said "OPERA". I think you've won a big victory there. Continue using the best recordings of the operas, and continue to upgrade your sound system. The sound is excellent, the stage magic superb, and your imagination and love of your art comes through in every performance.

The skill was very impressive, and the time flew. Everything was so life-like, and speaking of life-like, I also learned that marionettes like applause. GREAT SHOW! No one should miss it.

Hi. larry stark here. I'm always glad to find a new theater website in New England, but it's a double pleasure to find one as lovely and as easy to navigate as yours.
It will be added to our list of "useful sites" this evening, and I thank you for turning me on to it.
We've listed your performances for two summers, but I'm car-less so visiting your theatre has been out of the question.
I know marionettes are puppets, but not all puppets are marionettes. Yours is an art with a great history, and I hope an equally bright future.
I do remember that a marionette performance of "Aladdin & His Lamp" was maybe the very first "live theater" I ever saw. (The genii looked H U G E when the smoke cleared, because he was a human and not a puppet!)
So, break a leg all! Love, ===Anon. ( a k a larr stark )

I am like many people in the Monadnock region who live within 15 minutes of the NEMO and never go to a performance. Well, our long overdue visit to NEMO brought us Tosca, with beautiful sets, winning costumes, gorgeous music featuring the voice of Maria Callas, and all the passion you would expect from an Italian opera. Glorious. Thanks, Ted. We'd go again just to hear you open the show! Best wishes from my gang and the Sharon Arts Center.

Last summer, my wife and I attended La Boheme and thoroughly enjoyed it. This summer, we returned for opening night of Tosca and brought our teen-age daughters who think opera is just a lot of yelling and screaming. To my surprise, they both enjoyed the performance very much. When I asked them if they'd like to go to New York to see a performance at the Met, they said "No." They would prefer to return to NEMO. With the titles projected above the stage, they found the performance easy to follow and understand. They really enjoyed the tour of the theater and speaking with the puppeteers. The theater is so cozy; and the relaxed atmosphere and friendliness of everybody add that special touch.
I think it's worth a trip to the theater just to see the orchestra pit. I tell all my friends about it.
