This Saturday March 27 at the IceHouse

A forty minute story-telling escapade for the very young:  Touchstone Theatre and Mock Turtle presents Bill George’s DaPooch! or The Story of Poochie’s Three Hundred and Seventy Second Birthday and How the Hunga Munga Munga Saved His Life!

This one-man show with ukulele, songs, puppetry and plenty of participation by the children tells the story of a little rascal of a creature, DaPooch (and he’s not a dog!) who heads out on a birthday walk to encounter difficulties far beyond what one might wish for on one’s most significant and memorable birthday.  Still, with the help of his animal friends, and his bestest friend of all–Iddy Biddy–he manages to escape the clutches of the most horrible Hunga Munga Munga and to return home safely.

This play for children, created for Mr. George’s five year old son’s birthday many a year ago, has delighted audiences for over two decades.  Mr. George is considered one of Pennsylvania’s finest theatre artists, having received recognition nationally and internationally for his original creations.  He is a founding member of Touchstone Theatre.

All shows are at 10 am and are followed by a performing arts workshop!
Seats may be reserved by e-mailing us at doug@mockturtle.org or by calling 610-867-8208.
