Peter and the Duck (for Adults)

Prokofiev, Propoganda, & Prolotariat Uprisings? Oh, my!

John leopard
What if Sergei Prokofiev’s beloved composition “Peter and the Wolf” — the musical symphony for children — contained fake news?

The Bearded Ladies Cabaret’s John Jarboe and Revolution Winds explore Prokofiev’s dark story by removing the quacking duck from the classic story’s center. Join them for a “happy hour” musical meditation on generational angst, propaganda, Soviet influence and the dangers of story time. Cake and cocktails served!

(Kids performance is a separate event at 2 p.m.)

General Admission: $20
Reserved Seating (includes Post-Show Cocktails with John Jarboe): $100
Table (includes seats for four, champagne service and post-show cocktails with John Jarboe): $500

Text written and Performed by John Jarboe
Dramaturgy and Outside Eye, Mary Tuomanen
Costume by Rebecca Kanach

Originally commissioned and produced by Abigail Guay for Bryn Mawr’s Learning to Listen series.
