Bits ‘N Pieces Puppet Theatre presents their original musical adaptation of Washington Irving’s classic, Rip Van Winkle. This unique combination of talented puppeteers and actors brings a new perspective to the tale.
Nine-foot-tall puppets take Irving’s great adventure to new heights with singing, dancing and, yes, even bowling with the boys of the Catskill Mountains! Sleepy Rip Van Winkle is joined on stage with his sweet daughter Sarah, his faithful huntin’ dog Wolfie, Dame Van Winkle, the Pirate and his Pegleg Parrot, Soldier Boy Harry, and Captain Henry Hudson and his Crew.
While some men work for a better tomorrow, Rip Van Winkle is easily distracted by the lure of having fun today. He learns a difficult lesson that by sleeping his life away, his dreams slip away too. His life has passed him by. It’s classic literature at its best!
