Stages Theatre Presents “Spookley the Square Pumpkin”
This time of year, you see pumpkins everywhere and that includes on stage too.
The musical “Spookley the Square Pumpkin” is showing at Stages Theatre in Hopkins.
Cast of “Spookley the Square Pumpkin” entertain and share with audiences an important anti-bullying message.
The small but mighty cast features more than a dozen performers that sing, dance and tell the popular pumpkin story with puppets.
“You need to think about not only moving yourself, but also giving breath to your character, and making sure the mouth is moving and you are doing all the movements with yourself and your puppets,” said performer Vivian Neilsen.
The musical centers on how Spookley is bullied by the other pumpkins in the patch.
But in the end, he uses his unique square shape to save the day.
The show runs through October 29.
It’s a timely message.
“This is good timing because not only is it the season of Halloween, but it is also Anti-Bullying Month,” said Neilsen.
Spookley the Square Pumpkin has been performed four times at Stages Theatre.
The show will run through Oct. 29.
