The Grimm Brothers are just about to turn in the manuscript to their first collection of fairy stories, but there are three different versions of the same story. Which should they choose? Each version is funny and enchanting in its own way, and each version has a magical talking fish and a surprise ending. The brothers decide to gather a group of friends together (the audience) and tell all three versions. They will let their friends decide which version of the story should be included in the book. This is Madcap's most popular and entertaining performance. If you missed it when it was first produced eight years ago, you have a second chance to see the funniest puppet performance you'll ever see.
Madcap Productions Puppet Theatre is a nonprofit, touring children’s theatre company which combines giant puppets with actors to create a unique style of puppet theatre. Now in its twenty-first year, the company offers in production both original scripts and fresh adaptations of old tales. Madcap wants to introduce children to a whole new concept of puppetry, one that allows all the elements of theater to be combined in an artistic and educational performance.
Central to Madcap's work is its dramatic, focused visual style and deep commitment to develop new plays designed for giant puppets and actors. We strive, always, to give life to all characters (whether puppet or human) within each play. Puppet characters reach up to 12 feet tall, and range in style from hand to rod to body to backpack puppets.
Madcap Productions tours with five companies throughout the Midwest, performing for schools, theatres, libraries and community centers, reaching over 460,000 children each year. Madcap has also performed for such organizations as The Indianapolis Children Museum, The Huntington Arts Festival, The Cincinnati Historical Society at the Museum Center, and The Karmu House in Cleveland.
