The Woodchopper Opera is an original tale starring a woodchopper who seeks to improve his lot in life. He invents a time-saving device and enjoys great success until he is visited by a time-traveller who shows him that his invention has unintended consequences for the future. Deceptively comic, with parts of the story told using original songs set to familiar
tunesplayed by accordion, whistles, bells and novelty horns, The Woodchopper Opera offers audiences of the 21st century a lot to think about after they've stopped laughing.
The Woodchopper Opera features rod puppets, flat cardboard puppets, and moving props. It is suitable for all audiences with a taste for traditional puppetry laced with humor and sarcasm.

Ages 6 and up.
