PETER AND THE WOLF World Premiere --Featuring Austin’s own MOTHER FALCON!
Written and directed by Caroline Reck Enjoyable for all ages. The world premiere of Lionheart Youth Theatre’s stage adaptation of Peter and the Wolf. Join us for this modern adaptation of the original tale, with captivating, large-scale puppetry set to a new musical score written and performed by Universal Recording Artists Mother Falcon, one of Austin’s most talked about bands recently described by NPR Music as “sweepingly majestic.” This adaptation is written and directed by the celebrated puppeteer, Caroline Reck of Glass Half Full Theatre. Produced by Emily Marks. A new take on a classic tale that is uniquely Austin – not to be missed! |
Glass Half Full Theater has been dabbling in theater for all ages recently, creating adaptations of Once There Were Six Seasons and Cenicienta (Cinderella) this year that scored us an invitation to the National Puppetry Festival and the New Play Award from Austin Critics Table, as well as wins from B. Iden Payne for Outstanding Puppetry, Acting, and Original Composition. We’ve long been dedicated to working with composers to score our original works (White Ghost Shivers, Adam Sultan, Ammon Taylor).
