Caps for Sale
with
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
On two 24-foot wide playboards and a 10-foot tall canopy of trees, bunraku puppets act out the familiar story of the cap salesman who fell asleep under a tree and woke up without his wares. Afterward, three increasingly large billy-goats attempt to cross a bridge in defiance of an obnoxious ogre.
Our production involves creative extensions of the stories, along with call and response moments that involve audience members as storytellers, helping to drive the story forward.
Formerly listed as Monkey See, Monkey Do, this production is being restaged with a smaller cast, a new script, and songs to follow the story of the familiar children's book. It is designed for elementary school stages and theaters of up to 800 seats. With a cast of just three performers this is an affordable alternative to our larger theatrical productions.
