CAMPFIRE
SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY,THERE IS A TENT.
INSIDE THIS TENT, THERE IS AN ENTIRE FOREST.
AND INSIDE EVERY TREE TRUNK, AND UNDER EVERY ROCK, THERE IS A STORY.
HOW CAN THE GREAT OUTDOORS BE BROUGHT IN?
Trusty Sidekick Theater Company invites you to gather around the campfire. Together we’ll gaze through our binoculars, look for shooting stars, and entertain porcupines with a good joke. This intimate multisensory theater experience uses innovative puppetry and immersive staging to conjure the sights, sounds, smells, and textures of a vibrant forest. CAMPFIRE is an immersive production that was presented in two distinct versions at Lincoln Center in spring 2017: a version for ages 2+ and a version for young audiences on the autism spectrum and their families.
This production of CAMPFIRE was funded, in part, by The Jim Henson Foundation. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs . This production was commissioned by Lincoln Center Education and created by Trusty Sidekick Theater Company.
