Journey from the Scandanavian countryside to the Arabian desert to the magical underground kingdom of the trolls with mischievous adventurer Peer Gynt. Fans of Looney Tunes and Tim Burton will recognize Grieg’s unforgettable melodies, including “Morning–Mood” and “In the Hall of the Mountain King.” With life-sized puppets, colorful costumes, and dance, our friends from Enchantment Theatre Company return to bring this epic story to life with their extra-special brand of theatrical magic.
