Tea at the Palace

December 26, 2006 –January 1, 2008 at Tarragon Extra Space

Created and performed by Ann Powell and David Powell,

Directed by Sharon Weisbaum

Puppetmongers’ winter holiday performances have been a tradition for families and theatre-goers in Toronto since 1990. TEA AT THE PALACE is a heart warming Russian tale about justice, humanity, and love created and performed by Ann Powell and David Powell. With wildly inventive puppetry, innovative sets and props and live actors, it is a sensory feast with something for everyone. Tea at the Palace runs at Tarragon Theatre’s Extra Space from December 26, 2007 to January 1, 2008 with matinees daily at 2:30pm, and one evening show at 8pm on December 28.

 

The brother and sister team of David and Ann Powell, aka Puppetmongers Theatre, has been charming and bewitching audiences for 33 years with their extraordinary creations. At the forefront of puppetry arts in Canada, the award winning Puppetmongers have created more than 10 original shows, both for young audiences and adults, and have toured throughout North America, Europe, and the Middle East. They recently completed the puppetry creations and manipulation for “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium”, a film starring Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman, due for theatrical release November 16, 2007.
