Carnival of the Animals
Saint-Saens’ fanciful score serves as a canvas upon which three classic storybook fairy tales are interwoven: “The Three Little Pigs”, “The Tortoise and the Hare”, and “The Ugly Duckling”. This production is performed without dialog, allowing the classical score to shine. The puppets and puppeteers perform on a raised stage, fully visible to the audience.
Peter & the Wolf
Our production of Peter and the Wolf is set to the majestic Prokofiev score, designed to introduce children to classical music and the individual instruments within an orchestra. Visit the forest home of Peter and his grandfather, listen to the debate between the bird and the duck, and see how the hunters capture the wolf. This production features a digital recording, or can be performed with a symphony and guest narrator.
