3 Jeff Award Nominations in Chicago!

““The Old Man and The Old Moon” is a fable about opportunities lost and regained, and about how the force of memory pulls at us like a lunar tide. But in the hands of the PigPen troupe ... it is also about the experience of making theater itself.”

— The Boston Globe

After premiering "The Old Man and The Old Moon" at the Gym at Judson in New York City in the fall of 2012, the seven of us dove into an exciting collaboration with Chicago-based director Stuart Carden to revise the piece - first with a script/music workshop at Williamstown Theatre Festival in the summer of 2013, then with a fully staged reimagining of the show opening the season at Writers Theatre in Chicago in the fall of 2013. The resulting play, with a tighter script, no intermission, extended music, and new puppetry will now be a part of the 2014 season at Williamstown Theatre Festival, where it will continue to change and evolve with the help of original designers Lydia Fine, Bart Cortright, and the addition of Chicago sound designer, Mikhail Fiksel. This final production will open the 2014 season at The New Victory Theater in New York City, and then move to the Paramount Center Mainstage in Boston in partnership with ArtsEmerson. We're so proud of the show, and can't wait to share it with all our friends on the EAST COAST!

If you're excited about it too, we invite you to share THIS ARTICLE to all your folk-music-puppet-theatre loving friends. We all have them. Mark your calendars, we'll see you there.

Love,

PigPen

Audiotree Session OUT NOW!

Featuring two brand new songs "Weathervane" and "Mayfly"!

Our national tour is coming to an end tonight in Ann Arbor with a sold out show at The Ark. We couldn't be more with filled joy. Meeting you all out on the road and sharing our music has been a totally unforgettable experience. 
Thank you.

For those of you that couldn't make it or would like to share with friends that weren't there, enjoy this live concert delivered to your inbox - produced by the wonderful folks at Audiotree. We play favorites "Crow", "Sailor", "Song from the Stone", and "Bremen", but we also wanted to introduce two new songs that have made their way into our live set and will surely be on the next album, "Mayfly" and "Weathervane".

You guys are the best. Thanks again.
 

With all the love,

PigPen
