The Three Billy Goats Gruff

The Puppet Co.
7300 MacArthur Blvd. Glen Echo

WHO’S that trip-trop-tromping on my bridge?!” hollers Clarence, the troll living under the bridge. The Three Billy Goats Gruff is a marionette romp in which three brothers “get the goat” of this green troll, whose eyes light up in his futile attempts to intimidate his intruders, as they try to trip-trop-tromp to where the grass is greener. It’s an audience favorite at the Puppet Co., promising to keep the kids giggling.

"...Performer Christopher Piper is interactive with the kids from the first second he steps onstage. Asking for a louder “Good morning!” from the children, he is not satisfied until the whole foundation seems to shake with thunderous greetings. He takes some time to tell the kids about different kinds of puppets, and then, with instructions and hints shouted from the audience, proceeds to make a hand puppet that he names ‘Mabel,’ and hysterically argues with her while the children (and adults, I may add) shriek with laughter. He then brings out a rod puppet and a marionette, and shows how they are used. After asking the audience questions about the story The Three Billy Goats Gruff, it is time for the actual play."

After demanding who is clippety clopping across his bridge, the troll periodically explodes with rage or anxiety where limbs become disjointed and fly apart only to reassemble with the tug on a string. It’s quite effective and brings a fresh and literal interpretation to Getting oneself together.
