On First Knight, Windsor First United Methodist Church, 56 Chapel Street, Windsor, invites the community to experience the timeless wisdom of Aesop's Fables in a unique theatrical production performed entirely with marionettes. Admission is free, making this enchanting evening accessible to all.
The play brings beloved fables to life through the art of marionette puppetry, a tradition that has captivated audiences for centuries. Each story unfolds with handcrafted puppets, intricate movements, and imaginative storytelling that highlight the enduring morals of Aesop's tales.
Marionettes, string-operated puppets, trace their origins back to ancient civilizations, with evidence of puppetry in Greece, Egypt and India. By the Middle Ages, marionette performances were popular across Europe, often used to depict religious stories and folk tales. Over time, they became a staple of street theater and traveling troupes, delighting audiences with their lifelike gestures and expressive artistry.
Yet, in today's digital age, marionette theater is considered a dying art. With fewer practitioners and limited exposure, the craft risks fading from cultural memory. This production of Aesop's Fables seeks to honor and preserve the tradition, reminding audiences of the magic that only live puppetry can deliver.
The event will take place at Windsor First United Methodist Church, 56 Chapel Street, Windsor, NY on December 31, 2025 (First Knight), with the performance starting at 8:00pm. Admission is free to all.

The event will take place Wednesday, December 31, 2025 at the Windsor Town Hall, 124 Main Street, Windsor, NY with the presentation from 7:00pm - 7:45pm. The event is free and all are welcome.
Cummings, widely recognized for his immersive period history performances, will bring the frontier era to life with stories, demonstrations, and a large display of authentic items used during the pre-Revolutionary period. Following the presentation, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session with the presenter.
The evening continues with the Windsor History Room, hosted by local historian Rita Saunders, which will remain open until 10:00pm. Visitors are encouraged to explore Windsor's rich heritage and discover fascinating artifacts from the town's past.
To add warmth to the festivities, cookies, coffee, and hot chocolate will be served free of charge throughout the evening.

This year's interactive history presentation promises to be both educational and entertaining, offering a unique way to reflect on the past while looking forward to the future.
