We’re taking a pause from putting up live musicals for now…
In the meantime, we have a virtual show that you can watch!
Two siblings launch rival good news networks and find themselves competing for the title of happiest news show. Soon, their correspondents are in a whirlwind of ecstatic musical reporting – from joyful weather forecasts, to cheerful cooking segments and blissful political updates! But, when vulnerability starts peeking through the euphoric facade, they’re left wondering: is there room for raw honesty on a super happy broadcast? This new virtual musical (designed specifically to be rehearsed and performed remotely), incorporates real stories from kids, offering a positive outlet for them to express their emotions.
The show premiered FRIDAY, MAY 28th, 2021 on YOUTUBE. Check HERE!
And coming …sometime…HOPEFULLY IN SEPTEMBER!! =)
THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON
(Book, Music, and Lyrics by PigPen Theatre Co.)
The Old Man has kept his post as the sole caretaker of the moon for as long as he (or his wife, the Old Woman) can remember. When she is drawn away by a mysterious melody sparking memories of their shared past, the Old Man must decide between duty (and routine) and love (and adventure). Luckily for audiences everywhere, he chooses the latter, and what follows is an imaginative sea-faring epic, encompassing apocalyptic storms, civil wars, leviathans of the deep, and cantankerous ghosts, as well as the fiercest obstacle of all: change.
A cast of 7 actor/musicians play, sing, and create a raw, yet magical journey.
“This is a story of time and tides and quests, the sort of fable on which mythologies and religions are founded … [PigPen] asks us to appreciate the finer arts of wild storytelling, while speaking to the childish mind in all of us.” – Ben Brantley of The New York Times
