Puddlejump Players History

1992: The Puddlejump Players began in 1992 when a group of children decided they wanted to "do a show." They found a director and together developed an original adaptation of a traditional Yiddish folk tale, It Could Always Be Worse. With growing enthusiasm and numbers the company astonished many audiences with original adaptations of classic (and not so classic) tales.

1994: PJP wowed audiences with a jazzy musical adaptation of the kids’ classic Flat Stanley. The main production number, “Mamma, I’m Flat,” is still being hummed, a decade later, by former Puddlejumpers nationwide.

1995: [Photo Gallery] Once again the Puddlejump Players delighted audiences with their second production. This time it was Many Moons based on the book by James Thurber. The cast consisted of over 35 children between the ages of 4 and 13.

1996: For their next production, the Puddlejump Players amazed theatergoers with Emil in the Soup, based on the wonderful books by Astrid Lindgren (Emil and the Soup Tureen, Emil's Pranks and Emil and the Piggy Beast).

1997: [Photo Gallery] Now consisting of over 45 children, PJP produced Laughing Gas by P.G. Wodehouse in which Reggie (a newly minted Earl) experiences a mind-body transposition with young Joey Cooley, a child film-star, while they are both having teeth pulled under the influence of Laughing Gas


Fine children's theater, a Boston production you absolutely don't want to miss!
