This production is a family friendly story, told using larger than life puppets and actors.
Return to event list.The Burley High School Drama Department with director Richard B. Call, are very excited to announce their next production, Issun Boshi, a Japanese children’s production with large-scale puppets depicting the tale of Tom Thumb, a story of how a very tiny soul can have a really big impact. The puppets in this production are not the ordinary sort of puppet. All the puppeteers are in full view of the audience and the puppets range from the littlest Issun, a small puppet operated by the actor who plays big Issun, to the gigantic, over twenty feet tall and fifteen feet wide, samurai operated by up to eight actors. The production also features a wasp, rat, fish and kappa – a water spirit – all large-scale. The magic these extraordinary puppets bring to stage is truly something special that the BHS Drama Department would like to share with the community. |
