Rag and Bone Puppet Theatre
Study guide
Set-up


Stunningly imaginative—Winnipeg Free Press

Magnificent puppets ...There is a calmness underlying this production that makes it special --The Calgary Herald

Rag & Bone conjured up visions of Ancient China...a silver fan magically unfolded to become the moon. A large scroll illustrated Chinese writing... marvellous music and sound effects ... masterful. --The Ottawa Citizen

A seemingly endless degree of talent. --The Red Lake News

Beautiful visuals. Excellent performance. The music added so much atmosphere... it was magical.--Silverthorn P.S.

The students loved the performance! They were quietly enthralled and asked pertinent questions...Well done! --L. Jennings, Rockland P.S.

The Nightingale exceeds all other productions that I have seen...it was superb from beginning to end!--Lady Evelyn School

One of the best performances we have seen at our school --Vincent Massey P.S.

Outstanding performance...your troupe’s ability to move in and out of character without interrupting the continuity of the story line made for a most enjoyable and effective production...one of the best “in-school” productions to come along in quite some time. Congratulations.--Bayview P.S.

Raves from all who attended...children gave close attention. They were with the cast.--Centennial School

Delightful presentation ... students attend closely and concentrate on the highly-researched and thought provoking content...young audiences are thrilled as well as informed by these players who do their “homework” exceptionally well...talented, versatile, highly professional and dedicated. I highly recommend them.--Isobel Bryan, Ottawa Board of Education

Thank you for the excellent presentation. Everyone enjoyed the play; the children talked about it for days afterward; the music impressed many of them, as well as the dialogue and props. I look forward to having you again next year--Susan Howard, Bayshore P.S.
