Puddlejump Players History
1998: [Photo Gallery] The Puddlejump Players produced their first completely original show: No Food, written and directed by Sheila Leavitt. It was a social satire set 200 years in the future, at a time when eating has become not only obsolete but socially and politically unacceptable.
1998: [Photo Gallery] The Big Orange Splot by Daniel Pinkwater, that favorite of the non-conformist picture-book set, was produced the same year as No Food, showcasing the talents not only of some of the youngest PJP cast members, but also those of a student director.
1999: [Photo Gallery] Now numbering 55 children, PJP cheerfully produced Song of the Gargoyle. Based on a book by Newbury Award winning author Zilpha Keatly Snyder, Song of the Gargoyle told the story of Tymmon, the son of Komus (the Court Jester), who witnesses his father being dragged away in the middle of the night by a band of masked and armored knights. Heeding his father's words, Tymmon sneaks out of the castle to seek his fortune and meets a living gargoyle named Troff. After many adventures he finds his father and Prince Mindor, long thought dead, in the underground prisons of Unterrike Castle.
2000: [Photo Gallery] In 2000 the Puddlejump Players once again produced a masterpiece. This time it was Five Children and It by E. Nesbit.
