And as luck would have it, if you are looking for something fun to do with the little ones in the Columbia, SC area area that won't leave you water logged, The Columbia Marionette Theater in Downtown is just the place.
It's a theater that performs plays with puppets guys, that has to make you smile. From field trips to birthday parties, these talented ladies and gentle never fail to impress.
My little people have been to this fine establishment several times and we have all enjoyed ourselves each and every trip. In fact, I can remember going here on a school field trip myself once when I was in middle school.
Currently Beauty and the Beast is on tap at the Marionette Theater through August 4th and then a couple more shows will round out the season throughout the rest of the year.
