Staged reading at Shekman Arts Centre

Freddy the Detective
Freddy, Squirrel and the Rabbit

At Shenkman Arts Centre’s Richcraft Theatre
Saturday, December 7 at 10:30 and 12:30

Freddy the Pig wants to be a detective, but the mysteries are piling up. Who stole the toy train? Where’s the missing rabbit? How do you lock up a misbehaving fly? Luckily friends like Jinx, a cat, Mrs. Wiggins, a cow, and Mrs. Webb, a spider, can help.

We’re working on a new show, based on a series of books by Walter R. Brooks, and you’re invited to a sneak peek at the work so far. Join us for a staged reading of the script, animated with puppets, masks, music and dance.

We’re thrilled to have dancer Simone Brown and violinist Reiko Lokker join us for this project and we’d love your feedback.

We are grateful to the Shenkman Arts Centre’s ARTicipate Foundation and the The Ottawa Community Foundation for their support of Freddy the Detective.

Check out other SAC events, including a local vendors’ Holiday Market on the same day as our performances, Saturday December 7th.

Look for us in the Richcraft Theatre. We can’t wait to see you there.
