Capt'n Matt's Treasure Hunt is a fun, interactive
one-man puppet show in which the audience helps to track down the elusive
pirate Stink Beard who has stolenthe treasure. The theme of the show is books
and reading. The "treasure" we are after is the captain's giant
magic storybook, which we find after a musical adventure to different islands
and meeting many comical characters. The children are enchanted by the book's
big pop-up pages, as it tells the story of our adventure of finding the book;
a story within a story kind of thing. The children leave with the idea that
stories come from their own life experiences, and that each child is a story
in the making. The show runs one hour, promising laughter, music and audience
participation.
Capt'n Matt's Treasure Hunt has been presented for hundreds
of audiences with raving feedback from community audiences, teachers,
students, and parents! A teacher's guide is available full of class
activities, reading list, and resources for unit building!
