Baba Yaga

This program offered by: Pegasus Puppet Theatre

A musical puppet show for grades K-5! Adapted from the children’s book by Ernest Small, this production tells the Slavic story of the curmudgeonly witch Baba Yaga, a hedgehog prince who travels through the forest on his noble rooster, and a little girl named Marusia who is in search of turnips. As Marusia and her friend the hedgehog match wits with Baba Yaga, the most marvelous story unfolds with magical brews, a treacherous dragon, and Baba’s outrageous house on chicken legs. This production features puppets, masked/costumed actors, and a 6ft tall walking house.
