For those on the Vineyard who have witnessed the past two summer productions from the PigPen Theatre Company you know what it means to be completely transported, body and soul, to, without gilding the lily one bit, a place of imagination so powerful adults have been known to become toddlers on the spot: mute, with finger outstretched and prone to falling down in fits of giggles and wonderment. Kids, well, they simply become transfixed, the feeling so strong they refuse to watch television for weeks afterwards. It just doesn’t compare.

PigPen began at the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama in 2008, has toured nationally and became the first company in history to win the top honor for a play at the New York city International Fringe Festival two years in a row.

The shows are a mixture of storytelling and music. The boys play an array of instruments including piano, guitar, ukulele, melodica, accordion, mandolin; this list goes on and on and on.

In the past, those wanting to take a little PigPen home with them have had to go hungry. There were no CD’s. Pigpen wants to change that. However, to do so they have had to mount a fund-raising campaign. They are currently halfway towards their goal.
