What an amazing facility they have - - a HUGE building with a big theatre upstairs and a smaller one downstairs. A full time repertory company with complete production capablity.We travel with a lot of equipment for our live show, and it would not have been cost effective for our sponsor to fly it all over there. Luckily, our television partner Mike Campbell suggested we ask them if they would build our stage for us. They said YES! I sent them the specs and when we got there, BANG! We built it pronto. Shared language over mutual work.
The staff, the children, the audiences (two, sold out shows) the other puppeteers from France, Bucharest, Cyprus, all wonderful. A great, memorable, sharing time.

Dear Craig,
ReplyDeleteGreat photos from your stage production of"The Pied Piper Of
Hamlin"during your performances in Romania.
You,and Olga and Mike and the other"Flexitooners"gave joy and
inspiration to the kids..at a time..when there is little to smile about.
There is also a photo of someone,drawing a cartoon of a clown..
I'd like to ask..is that you drawing the clown..or someone else?
Mr.KTV.
