Description
This workshop production will focus on what the puppetry design can be, how music can be incorporated with the lyrics and it will explore certain new aspects of the script just recently added. This gives STF and the playwright an opportunity to explore and try to figure out what these moments can be.
This is also exciting opportunity to see local youth artists perform after only 4 days of workshopping and rehearsing with the Creative Team! They'll show you what they've accomplished in a short time, and invite feedback from the audience after the performance! Come be a part of a unique experience to see what this play can be!
