Hamelin: A New Fable - Public Performance

  • Horizon Stage Performing Arts Centre 1001 Calahoo Road Spruce Grove, AB, T7X 3J2 Canada (map)

In 13th century Germany, Medieval Hamelin Town is way too big for its lederhosen! Governed by a spoiled Mayor, his Mommy and stuffy corporate types who have no interest in its hard-working townsfolk, the town is primed to learn some important lessons in life from our heroes, 10-year-old twins Celeste and Ralph. When it seems that no one, other than their Opa Johannes, ever keeps their word, they come up with a plan to make the grown-ups wake up and smell the strudel. After the ridiculous new taxes render this tight-knit family homeless, desperate for help, they encounter a hapless “Minstrel”, a flute that has seen better days and of course, lots and lots of rats! Full of comedic twists and live music, this high-energy, original adaptation of the Pied Piper of Hamelin fable is sure to delight audiences of all ages.

Winner of a 2015 Jessie Richardson Award for Design Concept and Execution. Please contact the Horizon Stage Performing Arts Centre at the link below to purchase tickets to this public performance!
