Shumiatcher Sandbox Series

The Tooth Fairy

Created, conceived and performed by
The Old Troup Puppet Workshop & David Rhymer
May 12 to 15, 2010

Most of us like the Tooth Fairy well enough: a source of delight for children, and delight in their delight for adults. But what dark truths are hidden in the exchange of baby teeth for money?

The Tooth Fairy is a dream-like odyssey, an epic of paradise lost. It rumbles onto the stage like a wooden colossus, diving into the unconscious to discover the sea-monsters of the soul. It’s a children’s puppet show for adults, and adult theatre for children.

At a breakneck pace from the northern ice-wastes, to the depths of the forested wilds, to the middle of the heaving ocean, to the horrid bilge of a whaling ship, this fairy tale, like most, is about our need for redemption. But will a coin under our pillows really be sufficient payment for the loss of our innocence?

Founded on a ranch in southern Alberta in 1999, the Old Trout Puppet Workshop has continued to elicit gasps of delight and awe from audiences and critics alike while single-handedly re-inventing puppet theatre as sophisticated entertainment for adults. You will be enraptured and enthralled by the spectacle and power of The Tooth Fairy.

The Shumiatcher Sandbox Series at Globe Theatre showcases the work of Artists who continually challenge the boundaries of theatre, dance, and multidisciplinary performance.

For this season, Artists were invited to propose their own work for presentation on stage. Of the many candidate projects, Six (6) proposals engaged our senses, our passions and our curiosity. It is these Six (6) works that we are proud to offer in the 2009|2010 Shumiatcher Sandbox Series.

Each of these productions is a deeply personal story, told from a uniquely passionate voice, and backed by a team of talented theatre professionals

a Story of Exploration
a Story of Tragedy
a Story of Environment
a Story of Discovery
a Story of Loyalty
a Story of Innocence

We can hardly wait to see these projects alive on stage.

Come and have your own passion ignited.
