CRT presents The Old Man and The Old Moon 8:00pm
CRT presents The Old Man and The Old Moon
Friday, November 15th, 2024
08:00 PM
Harriet Jorgensen Theatre
An imaginative sea-faring epic, encompassing apocalyptic storms, civil wars, leviathans of the deep, and cantankerous ghosts, as well as the fiercest obstacle of all: change. The Old Man and The Old Moon tells the epic tale of an old man who must abandon his duties of filling up the moon with liquid light to cross the seas in search of his missing wife. A gloriously puppet-forward musical for every generation to enjoy.
“This is a story of time and tides and quests, the sort of fable on which mythologies and religions are founded … [PigPen] asks us to appreciate the finer arts of wild storytelling, while speaking to the childish mind in all of us.”
~The New York Times
