For OHNY Weekend, attendees will have the chance to tour the legendary New York City landmark, see vintage marionette puppets, learn what it’s like to be a professional puppeteer, and experience this architectural gem in the heart of Central Park, open to the public for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The open house will also host two live marionette performance times at 11AM and 1PM, featuring a preview performance of the song “Anything Can Happen in a Dream” from the show “Wake Up, Daisy”, an original Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre show. The play tells the story of Daisy, a bombastic, lively little girl living in the heart of New York City in an apartment overlooking Central Park. At a much-anticipated birthday party, Daisy’s parents invite everyone to celebrate, including three special guests from Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx who grant her gifts of courage, knowledge, and a second chance. When an unwelcome guest shows up and casts a curse on her, Daisy’s life is changed forever.
