Schedule for the Week of January 23 – 29

Peter and the Wolf = TIMELESS! “What brings the story to life is the wry sense of character that Piper imbues in each puppet he touches, along with enabling their realistic and signature movements for a magical treat that has won the company national acclaim.” – Debbie Jackson, DC Theatre Scene

FIVE-STAR REVIEW! “Piper is extraordinarily skilled at performing multiple characters in a solo act, lending each one a specific voice and unique mannerisms. This wide range is very impressive, and it makes him a joy to watch with every visit.” Julia Exline, MD Theatre Guide

Helen Hayes Recommended©Our Mini-Music Series continues with our Helen Hayes Recommended production of Sergei Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” performed by the Puppet Co.’s own Christopher Piper. Piper performs solo, operating all the marionettes ( string puppets ) and giving them voice.

Tiny Tots @ 10:00 has tickets available for shows on Saturday and Sunday.

The Puppet Co. Playhouse’s “Puppetry Slam” is on Saturday Night, April 28 at 7:00 & 9:00 PM. Moms and Dads, you should book your babysitters ’cause the Slam is not for kids!
