Peter and the Wolf

Peter and the Wolf is based on Sergei Prokofiev’s popular tale of good versus evil, but the Puppet Co.’s version is a new approach to the old tale, using character dialogue rather than narrative to develop the plot. It starts with an introduction to the themes in the work as well as to musical instruments used to signify each of the characters in the story. It then blends into the story of Peter and his animal friends, and their attempts to capture wily wolf Old Lupus. This one-man marionette show is performed by puppetmaster Christopher Piper.
