A Gorgon’s Tale

This new puppet spectacle by North Barn Theatre, created by longtime Pageant collaborators Laura Stinson and Ian McFarlane, tells the story of a mythical creature who brings new growth and change to a world in ruin. Drawing on tropes from the myth of Perseus and Medusa, it flips and scrambles the telling into a celebration of the antihero.

The show features a cast of puppet critters — among them a talking mouse, a two-dimensional king, a guiding butterfly, and a sneaky pigeon.

While not made specifically for children, the show's vivid sounds and imagery captivate audiences of all ages.

Runs approximately 50 minutes.
