It’s December 24th, and the old farmer settles down for a winter’s nap, wondering how Christmas can come when there is no snow! In his dream he imagines a snowstorm covering him and his animals – named One, Two, Three, Four and Five – in a snowy blanket. But when the farmer awakens, he finds that it really has snowed, and then he suddenly remembers something! Putting on his warm red suit, he goes outside and places gifts under the tree for his animals, bringing holiday cheer to all.

Never before have so many live arts been presented on one stage. Artists, using hands, brushes and other objects, create visual art pieces making lines and shapes on giant canvas’ while the audience is intrigued to guess what each painting will become. Lines and brush strokes become portraits of famous icons in a matter of moments. All the while, live musicians are performing popular musical styles from pop to country to Artrageous original music with Artrageous’ powerful vocalists creating smooth harmonies. Artrageous dancers incorporate dance moves that the audience learned before the show and the audience can’t help but dance in the aisles and at their seats.
The troupe incorporates their street theatre roots and introduces the ancient art of life size puppetry as their puppet Howard takes the audience on an imaginative dream through a world of black light where masterpiece paintings are created by a team of artists as the painting seems to appear out of thin air. The audience is in awe as they see floating people and paintings appear in Howard’s black light world. The grand finale integrates live music, vocalists, and a trio of live art works leaving the audience on their feet dancing, singing and clapping along. At the end of the performance the entire audience is invited on stage to view the artworks created during the presentation to enjoy a completely unique view of the show. The audience meets the troupe, takes photos as they walk through the gallery of live art.

“Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were – Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter….” These famous opening lines of The Tale of Peter Rabbit have enchanted young audiences for over one hundred years with the exploits of a charming hero, who, going against his mother’s wishes, has adventures (and misadventures) in Mr. McGregor’s garden. Beatrix Potter created an instant classic with the little blue-coated rabbit who we recognize as both boy and rabbit, wild and civilized, and who has become an icon of childhood since he first hopped out of the pages of a story book and into children’s hearts. Now Enchantment Theatre Company is delighted to collaborate with the Estate of Beatrix Potter and Penguin Books UK to present the authorized theatrical version of Peter Rabbit Tales.
