How about some theatre tonight?

Tonight at 6:30 the Pontine Theatre presents The Story of a Bad Boy.  Pontine has created an original stage adaptation of T.B. Aldrich's 1896 masterpiece. Aldrich was hailed for abandoning the moralistic tone of 19th century children's literature, instead telling his story from a child's view, full of the wonder, confusion and the mildly bad behavior of a real boy. Pontine brings these stories to life onstage with a cast of bunraku style puppets. The action of the play is enhanced by piano music composed by New Hampshire native, Edward McDowell (1860 - 1908) the late 19th century American tone-poet, whose home in Peterborough NH is now the McDowell Artists Colony. The story is also an eloquent and intimate evocation of daily life in Portsmouth, circa 1850. This program is appropriate for 4th graders to adults.  Join us!
