PHOTOS FOR THE PRESS...
The
premiere of an original, professional work of musical theatre made
in Peterborough.
Produced by the Hungry Collective, presented by Public Energy.
Book
by Kate Story, Music by Susan Newman, Lyrics by Rob
Fortin. Directed by Susan Spicer. Performers include
Jacob Abrahamse, Whitney Barris, Justin Hiscox,
Haley McGee, Jeff Schissler, Caylie Staples and Jeremy
Lapalme. Designed by Akiva Romer-Segal.
Created
by some of Peterborough’s foremost professional theatre artists,
Hungry is an uplifting story of children’s ingenuity
and the struggles and rewards of finding one’s own path. Hungry
traces the traditional plotline of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale
in a modernized idiom with an original musical score, appealing
lyrics and imaginative stage, set and costume creations. With all
the dynamics of live musical theatre, fresh new characters along
with contemporary dialogue and humour for both child and adult to
enjoy, the re-telling of the popular classic is sure to please.
Let us introduce you to Hansel and Gretel, meet the Itchy Witch,
Fraidy Cat, a Blues Singing Gingerbread Man and a Princess as smart
as she is pretty. A tale of triumph over neglect and poverty, of
child heroes who discover their own way out of their predicaments,
of the importance of friendship and sharing, Hungry will
resonate with children and open the doors for discussion both in
the classroom and around the dining table. With performances by
a cast of outstanding professionals, the premiere of Hungry
promises to be a memorable theatre event.
