Peter and the Wolf

“Peter and the Wolf” is one of The Puppet Co.’s best loved stories. It has been performed for nearly a million children and their parents from Washington, D. C. to Honolulu, Hawaii. The performance starts with an introduction to musical instruments used to signify each of the characters in the story, then blends into the story of Peter’s, and his animal friends’, attempts to capture wily wolf “Old Lupus.”
The one-man show, performed by puppetmaster Christopher Piper, is based on Russia’s popular tale of good versus evil, and staged with half life-size marionettes. This production is a new approach to the old tale, using character dialogue rather than narrative to develop the plot.
