Produced by special arrangement with Anchorage Press Plays, Louisville, Kentucky USA

July 14 – 23, 2006

Travel beyond the moon and past the sun with the adventures of a wooden marionette yearning to become a real boy. The little puppet begins his quest, only to be waylaid by thieves and tricksters. If he tells a lie, his nose grows; if he is lazy, he sprouts the ears of a donkey. His fortunes are guided by a pesky cricket and the Blue Fairy, but he faces the final Plunge into the Sea and executes a daring escape from the belly of the Great Sea Monster on his own.
