If you have not yet had the opportunity to attend War Horse on stage, it is truly a spectacular show for both equine aficionados and those who have never had the opportunity to be around a horse.
Good News: If you live in Albuquerque, Austin, Houston, Irvine, Kansas City, Madison, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans, Omaha, Salt Lake City, or Winnipeg, you are in luck. There are shows in your area beginning April 1 through June, 2014.
The artistry, evocative emotion, and puppetry skill (thought to be dated back over 3000 years) is truly a sight to behold and experience live. The study, development, training, hand-crafting, assembly and re-creation of life for these equine puppets touched the lives of many.
Here is a fascinating view into the factory of Basil Jones and Adrian Kohler of Handspring Puppet Company in South Africa, and the residents whose lives have changed because of War Horse. The workers learned a precise skillset and were proud to be a part of the creative process of these world-traveling on-stage horses.
The Orpheum Theater announced the show's run in Memphis, Tennessee, and introduced Joey in his final, stage-ready form to the public with his three puppeteers and their technique that bring him to life.
Enjoy!
