Dayton’s own Zoot Theatre Company makes its ImPACt debut this weekend, with Zoot Tales: A Canterbury Journey, March 27 & 28 in the Mathile Theatre at the Schuster Center.
Zoot Theatre Company (led by The Human Race Theatre Company’s Tristan Cupp) mixes an exciting use of live actors and imaginative puppetry into a innovative theatrical experience. This weekend’s production is perfect for families and re-imagines several of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales into living theatrical stories.
Zoot Tales: A Canterbury Journey is a modern look at 14th century Chaucer work told by the Zoot Story Finders. Masks and Puppets designed and constructed by Zoot members will bring a touch of magic as two imprisoned knights vie for the hand of the king’s daughter, a rooster ponders the meanings of his dreams, a devious Pardoner speaks on sin and an arrogant knight searches for the answer to the queen’s demand.
