Victorian toy-theatre and puppetry performances
Bring a miniature Victorian stage and live storytelling to a community gathering
Pontine Theatre / New Hampshire Mime Company
Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers combine storytelling, puppetry and Victorian toy theatre in intimate literary productions. Their current touring invitation offers seasonal programs for communities, designed for smaller, nontraditional performance spaces. This is a commissioned organizational performance inquiry, not a verified wedding or private-home package; the former company name is consolidated here.
