AND THE BLACK WELL FAERIES A Scottish folktale turned British panto about a lovely young girl’s run-in with the faeries who inhabit the Black Well.

| HABETROT & SCANTILE MAB The famous spinster sister fairies lend their talents to a poor beautiful girl in need .. . . of a husband. Her impediment to landing a mate? The fact that she has no talent for spinning. The absence of a scary villain makes this traditional English fairy tale perfect for wee ones. |
THE ELVES (AND THE SHOEMAKER) |
The well-known story is reinterpreted in the slap-stick comedic musical
style of the traditional British pantomime, complete with a dame in the
role of the Shoemaker’s wife, and a villainous Landlord who tries to
ruin her fun. The Shoemaker himself ensures the audience feels they are
integral to the on-stage action, cheering the hero (and heroine),
hissing and booing the bad guy, and even doing a little
magic. Perfect for Christmastime. Cast of 8. Running time
approximately 50 minutes. |
THE ELFIN HILL
| TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE This
interdisciplinary faerie tale provides an opportunity for the human
audience to play peeping tom at a party hosted by the Elf-King himself.
Schubert’s famous song “Der Erlkoenig” sets the tone in company
with music by various other classical composers providing the backdrop
for an evening of song, dance and story-telling, performed by elfin
maidens trying to impress visiting gnomes into marriage. These are
old-school trolls and goblins who revel in making mischief and
celebrating the dark arts. This show may be too scary for young
children.
