Event
A Tale of The Tontlawald
An evening of entertainment featuring music by The Bluebird Orchestra, film shorts, and a marionette show.
The first half of the evening will feature The Bluebird Orchestra playing some of their original songs and improvising music to two very short silent films: "Princess Nicotine" and "Artistic Creation" from the turn of the (last) century.
After a brief intermission The Bluebird Theater will present "A Tale of the Tontlawald" a marionette show of an Estonian fairy tale. Marionette performers from the ensemble will act out this tale using language direct from the text. It is a story celebrating the benefits of venturing into dark places and having imaginary friends. The Bluebird Orchestra plays throughout.
The Orchestra features: Donald Saaf playing the Estey organ using the "think method"and singing, Matthew Sharff on Bass & vocals, and Rick Contino on the pedal steel.
Julia Zanes and Magda Sharff work the puppets.
Voice actors are Collin Leech, John Shepherd, Magda, Abby and Matthew Sharff.
