The Frog Prince, or Faithful Henry

                    4 performers; 40 minutes

An unusual promise bonds a Princess to a frog, and leads to a moving transformation. This classic account of perseverance, courage, and faith is beautifully illuminated with storytelling, movement, and a rapturous harp score.  

“What a pleasant and refreshing change to see a children’s show not steeped elbow deep in patronizing Panto over-enthusiasm…The Frog Prince’ is a tale regaled by a harp-plucking narrator, wonderfully creating moods and atmosphere...  Silent flowing movement from the players allow a magical setting to blossom onstage, while an audience, comprising far more three year olds than adults, sits mesmerized… A  very welcome alternative to conventional children’s theatre.”  — Three Weeks

The Valiant Little Tailor

    3 performers, 50 minutes

A clever, light-hearted commoner becomes a king in this charming comedy.  While a marionette Tailor curiously grows larger and larger, another actor portrays over a dozen characters, ingeniously transforming before our eyes---often only using a single piece of fabric! Even the narrator harpist jumps into a few wild scenes, adding to the overall mayhem and fun.

“A clever combination of puppetry, narration and music make this show a sure hit for the younger festivalgoer.  Full of laughs, Singing Harp does very well in boosting the comedy in this Brothers Grimm tale….The whole show looks and sounds good, and there are plenty of moments for the parents as well.  Good Fun.”
