*I was given tickets to Flibbertigibbet’s in exchange for sharing about it, opinions and experiences are my own.*
We just checked out Quest Theatre’s Flibbertigibbet’s (that’s a hard word to type) and Clara was a big fan!
Flibbertigibbet’s Story Exhibit is put on by Quest theatre as part of their Sweet Pea Neighbourhood Touring Series. This extravaganza features songs, stories, interactive participation and various puppetry styles.
“This piece of gobbledygook is a real labour of love for me. I love tinkering with objects,
delighting little ones, singing songs and telling really great stories. This play organically
evolved from some very creative minds, and we were encouraged to offer it again this season
when we realized audience members were returning to see it a second time with friends,”
said Nikki Loach, Artistic Director of Quest Theatre and the production’s Director, Curator and
Designer.
Clara’s favourite part was all of the animals, as well as how she got to go up on stage! The show is just under an hour long which makes it the perfect amount of time for tiny attention spans.
The Flibbertigibbet story centres around a story exhibit that has come to town. Sarah and Alix are looking for keys to various story suitcases and perform a number of songs and stories including:
- El Conejito – A folk tale from Panama
- What a Wonderful Life – a Jewish folktale
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Baa Baa Black-sheep, ABC song – Sing Along
- Turtsie the Turtle – an original story
