David and Ann, "We hope your little people can come and learn from our little people"

Puppetmongers' return to the Tarragon with their charming adaptation of The Princess and the Pea,  set in a magnificent miniature mansion of the Edwardian era. Older children are intrigued by the captivating detail -- tiny working period light fixtures and steaming bathtubs.  Younger children are entranced by the story, transfixed by the power of make-believe. Humour abounds and everyone roots for the clever servants who conspire to create a happy ending for their employers.

Short-listed for a Chalmers Canadian Play Award and a recipient of a Citation of Excellence in Puppetry from the Union International de la Marionette, Bed and Breakfast  builds vocabulary, invites comparative thinking, brings history to life, challenges gender and social class stereotypes and teaches healthy character development such as perseverance, empathy and the value of teamwork.

"...Puppetmongers, one of the most consistantly delightful groups in the city. They work with great delicacy, wit and imagination, using carefully crafted puppets in charming stories."  Richard Ouzounian. Toronto Star.

"...one of those lovely traditions that bring richness and colour to the multifaceted theatrical life of the city"  Robert Crew. Toronto Star.
