Saturday June 18th with PA Sinfonia
Grab the kids! Tell every parent and grandparent you know.
Large, elaborate puppets who “play” musical instruments (together with their human handler) will be on stage at the Ice House in Bethlehem on Saturday, May 18 in a 3:00 p.m. performance that creatively shows how numerous ethnicities and cultures have contributed to great classical music.
The “Museum of Music” is an entertaining show for children and their families, to be followed immediately by a puppet-making workshop and refreshments. The project is a collaboration between the Pennsylvania Sinfonia Orchestra and Mock Turtle Marionette Theater, with artistic director Doug Roysdon.
We have almost entirely COLLEGE YOUTH making this happen as actors and stage directors (except for the professional musicians). Doug Roysdon is operating the puppets and, of course, wrote the show. A youth show with YOUTH INVOLVEMENT! The musicians are PERFECT. Simon Maurer as the violinist is in his heaven- he can improvise, play classical, Hungarian gypsy music PLUS jazz and even gospel/bluegrass. He can ham it up plus play many styles of music .. even true fiddle music. Michael Toth on piano is doing the same thing and Christa Warda is really looking forward to being the opera “DIVA”
Tickets: Students under 17, $7.50. Adults, $10.
Limited seating! Call to reserve: 610 434-7811
