About The Old Man and The Old Moon
Set sail on a luminous journey with The Old Man and The Old Moon, a whimsical and epic American fable created by the award-winning PigPen Theatre Co. This "play with music" tells the story of an Old Man who has spent his life refilling the moon with liquid light. When his wife disappears in search of a forgotten melody, he must abandon his post and cross the seas to find her.
What follows is an imaginative nautical adventure featuring:
Live Indie-Folk Music: A rollicking, original soundtrack performed entirely by the cast on a variety of instruments.
Inventive Staging: Watch as ordinary objects transform into ships, storms, and sea monsters through shadow puppetry and low-fi theatrical magic.
Epic Storytelling: Navigate through apocalyptic storms, civil wars, and the belly of a giant fish in a heartwarming tale about love and the inevitability of change.
