Matthew as Raven, Sarah as the Sky Chief's Daughter, and Brian as the Sky Chief in Book-It Repertory Theatre's Trickster Tales at Puyallup Public Library
The child and I headed off to the Puyallup Public Library to catch a presentation of three trickster tales performed by Book-It Repertory Theatre. We took along the father-in-law and the stepmother-in-law to enjoy stories of Raven, Jabuti the Tortoise, and Coyote and the mischief they found themselves in. Each of the three cast members had an opportunity to play one of the lead roles—Matthew as Raven, Sarah as Jabuti, and Brian as Coyote.
The performances were amazing. The actors utilized only a handful of props as they both narrated the stories and conversed with one another, navigating lines as though they were lines of poetry or spoken lyrics to long-lost songs. Inventive, simple costumes, along with some puppets and body work made for a wonderful half-hour.
We will be catching future Book-It performances and highly recommend you do the same.
