The Rutabaga Rescue
An Original Play by Threadbare Theatre
Saturday, November 7
Victoria Jubilee Hall, Walkerton
Words Aloud 6 Spoken Word Festival, in collaboration with the South Grey Bruce Youth Literacy Council has done it again! Behold the opportunity to experience an all ages event that you will continue to carry within your imagination for years to come. The Rutabaga Rescue is an original contemporary play with its feet on the earth and its head in the sky. Led by two seasoned puppeteers, Ron Schweitzer and Joel Brubacher, joined by a talented cast of collaborators and volunteers, comprise Threadbare Theatre, the spontaneous combustion of exuberance, talent and socially conscious thought.
The escapade begins in the garden and leaps from there. Narrated by a giant storybook, this modern fable features the remarkable adventure of a stalwart young girl and giant puppets playing live music. The garden can be an enchanted place at night. The stage props are created from recycled and repurposed materials giving truth to the theme of this tale.
Coupled with this performance is ...Seeds... a themed writing contest for young people, with the four winning entrants bringing their words to the stage. Share this treat with your own children, or a few privileged borrowed youngsters.
Tickets: Regular $12; Child $6; Family Pass $30.
