Gepetto: Extraordinary Extremities

by Renee Philippi

2016, Main Stage

Backstage at the greatest puppet show in the world solo, Geppetto faces many challenges as he rehearses the legendary love story of Perseus and Andromeda.

When broken limbs, three-headed dogs, and a missing scene partner threaten to cancel the show, he must perform the toughest role of his career.

Geppetto: Extraordinary Extremities is a charming and romantic play about how we improvise when all of the odds are against us.
