Synopsis:
Grand Falloons Artistic Director Stephen Ringold adapts stories from Isaac Bashevis Singer’s collection, Zlateh The Goat. The show is inspired by the art of Chaim Soutine, with original music by Elizabeth Swados, Ilene Weiss and Kevin Schmidt, set and puppet design by Therese Schorn, Kim Winslow and Deborah Berkson to create vital vaudeville musical theater with dynamic puppets. Spiritual, emotional, intellectual...and more rambunctious than a clown.
