Penguin goes north at Cape May stage

On July 5, Cape May Stage (CMS) will feature an extra special show for families this holiday weekend.
At 11 a.m., puppeteer Scott Hitz & Company will charm audiences by combining skilled puppetry, lovable characters, and great music in a new enchanting show for families, “Go North Penguin.”
In the spirit of Jim Henson, the story of Pogo the Penguin promises to engage kids and parents alike in this action-packed, large-scale puppet presentation.
Pogo is a Penguin with a problem. He has no home and can’t seem to figure out where to look for one.
He starts at the South Pole and goes the only way he can—north. Along the way he meets a friendly Lion, a funky Monkey, and a country Dog.
Using original songs written to music from the 70s and 80s, puppets designed and built by the talented people at Monkey Boys Puppets, and a host of crazy characters, Hitz creates a magical world for young and old alike.
As part of Cape May Stage’s new Second Stage Series, Go North Penguin is a wonderful way to introduce new audiences to the theatre.
Artistic Director Roy Steinberg’s vision of keeping the doors open during traditionally ‘dark days/nights’ allows CMS to reach out to the littlest theatergoers, showing families that this is a place of constant creativity for young, old, and everyone in-between.
Go North Penguin performs at the Robert Shackleton Playhouse, Bank and Lafayette sts.
