Maritime Marionettes June 5th
by Rena Kossatz, Ship's Company TheatrePARRSBORO NS - The world-renowned Maritime Marionettes will present
The Bremen Town Musicians at Ship’s Company Theatre in Parrsboro on Saturday afternoon, June 5th at 2 p.m.
This favorite folktale tells the story of an aging donkey who follows his dream to become a musician. On the road to Bremen town, he befriends a dog, a cat and a rooster, who, like him, are no longer needed as farm animals. Together they form a comical quartet and a bond that will last the rest of their lives.
The visuals of the show are performed with eloquent shadow puppets, exquisitely made marionettes and the Heather and Darryll Taylor's masterful manipulation. The inspiring soundtrack combines bedtime story style narration, whimsical music and side-splitting animal sounds.
From the opening scene to the hilarious and touching ending, this timeless tale of friendship and enthusiasm for life will inspire and entertain the child in us all.
All seats $12. Call 1-800-565-SHOW or visit www.shipscompany.com
