Puppetry
“Waterwood Theatre Productions is renowned for their charming puppet characterization and stories that incorporate poetry and classical music.”
O is for Ogre
O is for Ogre is an original story about a boy named Owen Osborne, who just loves books. They fill his imagination! However, his stories are being threatened by an obstinate Ogre who is running out of Os to make his Omeal for breakfast. This Ogre needs more Os and begins to take Os out of Owen’s favourite books. What will Owen do when he embarks on an adventure to find out who is taking all the Os?
Tales From an Empty Fridge
Tales from an Empty Fridge is a touching story about an older man named Jasper who reconnects with his artistic past. There is no dialogue in the performance, yet Jasper’s story is vividly told through music, movement of the puppets, props and sets. It is with understated brilliance that Waterwood Theatre Projects lets the cello, jazz, ragtime music and soulful puppets tell this tale. Young audiences are taken on a journey of discovery as Jasper learns that his cupboards are bare and his bills are accumulating. Despite his troubles, Jasper paints, gardens and dances to keep his spirits up. Jasper learns that doing what he loves most is the key to his happiness.
