Aunt Nelly's porch is the best place to learn about
life on the Blue Ridge. Why don't you'all come on up and join Nelly
and her friends!
This production by Mountain Marionettes' features storytelling as well as traditional marionette variety acts. Enjoy the music, from Bluegrass to Classical that will remind you of the Southern Appalachian. Some of the characters you will meet include a fantastic Fiddler, Nelly's brother, and a farmer that falls apart on the job. This production was designed to fit into NC 4th grade curriculum but everyone from 2 to 92 will enjoy their time on Nelly's porch.
