Sinbad!
By Stuart Arden
Directed by John Szostek
November 9 – December 8, 2007
The Piccolo Ensemble is on the high seas as they venture into the world of Sinbad the Sailor and his hilarious cast of friends, foes, and yes, even the Dame Emphysema.
Genies, pirates, and surfing camels abound in this tale of romance and intrigue as Sinbad journeys to the Island of the Roc to capture the giant bird. Will Sinbad save the lovely Princess Shaheen from the evil Al Capone and his up-to-no-good genie, Ali Gator?
Here's what our critics say:
"Outrageous and maniacally funny. Every player offers a kinetic performance...Fun for kids and adults and an uproarious success for Piccolo Theatre...Glenn Proud does a sensational over-the-top performance as Emphysema...constant nervous tics, crazy eyes and an unforgettably high-pitched voice where he is given free reign to chew up the scenery." – Brian Murphy, Evanston Roundtable
"A combination of commedia dell'arte and British music hall, vaudviulle, and slapstick, the panto is right up the alley of Evanston's Piccolo Theater..."
Becky Brett, Performink
