Maritime Marionettes: Molly and the Oak Island Treasure

Harbourfront Theatre in Summerside will present Maritime Marionettes: Molly and the Oak Island Treasure on March 27 at 10:30 am and 12:30 pm. 

This engaging live performance brings stories to life through the art of puppetry, combining colourful characters, expressive movement, and storytelling to spark imagination and wonder.

Using expertly crafted marionettes and engaging narratives, Maritime Marionettes invites young audiences on a charming adventure as Molly, her boat, and her fairy friend Pixie set off in search of buried treasure. Along the way, they meet new friends who help guide them on their wondrous journey, all set against a Maritime backdrop and featuring the music of the Barra MacNeils. This 45-minute production features 13 puppets and offers a lively and accessible introduction to theatre. 

This presentation is part of Harbourfront Theatre’s Stages for Students initiative, established in memory of founding volunteer and educator Marcia Whelan. The program is dedicated to providing local school children with opportunities to experience live theatre and engage with the performing arts, helping to remove financial barriers and foster creativity, collaboration, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts. By offering free access to performances and supporting opportunities for students to present their own productions on the Harbourfront stage, Stages for Students continues Marcia’s legacy of connecting young people with the arts and education in meaningful and inspiring ways.
