"Ashlad and the Good Helpers" is the story about a King who wants a ship that can
sail "on land, on sea and in the air as well." Many try to build this supernatural
ship, but only one will succeed; for it takes courage, a pure heart and a little touch
of magic.
"Ashlad and the Good Helpers" is a visually stunning production with quirky characters, puppetry, and special effects, original music and a message that is true for us all.
Rehearsals begin March 2, 2008. Performances will be held at the Wendy Williamson Auditorium, April 17-27, 2008. The Ashlad story can be downloaded from: http://tfyp.uaa.alaska.edu. Design by Sheila Wyne. Large-scale puppetry by Buzzoplex. Please address any audition questions to the director, Yngvil Vatn Guttu, by contacting (907) 786-6872 or anyv@uaa.alaska.edu.
