Puppetmogers Proudly Presents Tea at the Palace 12/18-1/1/2011

Puppetmongers' winter holiday performances have been a tradition for families and theatre-goers in Toronto since 1990. Rich in magical surprises and mechanical ingenuity, inventive puppetry and exuberant folk music, Tea at the Palace is a sumptuous retelling of a heartwarming Russian tale about justice, humanity and compassion. Created and performed by Ann Powell and David Powell, it is a sensory feast with something for everyone. Tea at the Palace runs at Tarragon Theatre's Extra Space from December 18, 2010 to January 1, 2011 with matinees daily at 2:00pm and added shows on December 29 & 30 at 4:30pm (no shows Dec. 20-25).

The brother and sister team of David and Ann Powell, aka Puppetmongers Theatre, have been charming and bewitching audiences for 36 years with their extraordinary creations. At the forefront of puppetry arts in Canada, the award winning Puppetmongers have created more than 10 original shows, both for young audiences and adults, and have toured throughout North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Their puppetry was featured in the 2007 film Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, starring Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman.
