PigPen Theatre Co.'s THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON Comes to The Wallis
PigPen Theatre Co.'s THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON, a fantastical song-filled fable for all ages, directed by Stuart Carden and PigPen Theatre Co., opens at the Wallis Annenberg Center for Performing Arts on Saturday, March 2 and continues through Sunday, March 17, 2019, in The Wallis's Bram Goldsmith Theater.
Featuring a spirited indie-folk score performed live by PigPen, this one-of-a-kind theatrical experience is the touching tale of a man charged with the task of keeping the moon shining bright. A mysterious disappearance sends him on an epic adventure over land, sea and sky and ultimately reminds him - and us - of the unwavering power of love.
The production, which had award-winning runs in New York, Chicago and Boston, combines PigPen Theatre Co.'s signature shadow puppetry, wonderfully melodic music, wildly imaginative staging and ever-changing characters. The Old Man and The Old Moon's high-energy ensemble is comprised of PigPen Theatre Co.'s Alex Falberg, Ben Ferguson, Curtis Gillen, Ryan Melia, Matt Nuernberger, Arya Shahi and Dan Weschler.
"It's a joy to bring The Old Man and The Old Moon to Los Angeles on the heels of its sold-out engagement at San Diego's Old Globe," says The Wallis' Artistic Director Paul Crewes. "With PigPen's inventive stagecraft, wonderful music and spellbinding storytelling, this production is sure to touch audiences of all ages."
