The Girl and the Toymaker is a one-act play with dance that follows a young heroine as she finds herself trapped in a dream that’s actually a play that’s actually a game of dress-up. Characters from familiar stories like Coppelia, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Pinocchio, and The Nutcracker collide as five performers embark on a mile-a-minute journey through ever-changing genres. Glimpses of dance-theater, pantomime, hip hop, musical theater, contemporary dance, ballet, and puppetry tear into the forefront before being eclipsed by the next. Underneath all the chaos is a tale about growing up and the performance of becoming oneself.

June 17, 8:00pm at Chez Bushwick 

Tickets: Sliding Scale $15-30
