The Magic of Hans Christian Andersen
Applause Unlimited celebrates one of the 20th century’s greatest storytellers with their award winning show, The Magic of Hans Christian Andersen. Sometimes serious and heartwarming, sometimes downright silly, but always fun, the show features storytelling and song as well as over twenty hand puppets, rod puppets, and marionettes in three of Andersen’s best loved tales: The Ugly Duckling, Thumbelisa, and The Emperor’s New Clothes. Filled with humor and messages suitable for all ages, this show presents the stories that grandparents will recognize, parents will love to share, and every child will long remember.

All tickets $20 (+$3 online fee) Under 3 years free with paying adult

APPLAUSE UNLIMITED offers a wide range of performances featuring fresh presentations of classic tales. Their approach includes puppets, storytelling, music, masks, magic, and comedy in a unique combination that quietly educates as it entertains. Applause Unlimited cofounder, Christopher Hudert is a versatile artist whose skills include script writing, sculpting, set and puppet construction, puppetry, clowning, stilt walking, juggling and much more. While a Theater Education major at Virginia Commonwealth University, Christopher put his studies on hold to attend Ringling Bros. Clown College. Offered a chance to join the Circus, he accepted a clown contract and, for nine years, toured the U.S. and Japan. He was Boss Clown for Ringling before leaving the show to join in the creation of Applause Unlimited. Christopher tours, performing, giving lectures, and teaching workshops on both clowning and puppetry throughout the country.
