Baba Yaga

A contemporary retelling of a classic Russian folktale with masks and shadow puppets: In this magical tale, a young girl ventures into the dark forest and encounters the terrifying Baba Yaga and her house on chicken legs. With her doll’s help, she must complete the tasks Baba Yaga sets for her or be turned into stew!

Our first work for young people, The Adventures of Baba Yaga: Little Girl Stew opened at Access Theatre in Lower Manhattan on June 3rd, 2004.
The show went on to Canada for the Toronto Fringe Festival (July 2-9th) http://www.fringetoronto.com/ and the Winnipeg Fringe Festival (July 15 - 24th.) http://www.winnipegfringe.com/

In September, the show toured New York City parks with the Play Outside Festival (http://www.playoutside.org/)
