“But as charming as the wizardry of their puppetry and sound effects are, the real source of enchantment in The Old Man and the Old Moon comes from its keen insight into the human heart.”

Pittsburgh City Paper | By Stuart Sheppard

“The shadow-puppet scenes — mini plays within the play — are mesmerizing, as are the sound effects, which are executed with a kind of raw, Foley magic. You see both being done, but you don’t know how.”

“The Old Man and the Old Moon reminds us that the world is full of amazing stuff, and that adventure will always await those who choose to seek it.”

“The folktale is bright and imaginative. It’s a sophisticated children’s show. While it can be enjoyed by younger audiences, PigPen never panders to the lowest common denominator.”

“The production’s stop in Pittsburgh marks a triumphant return to the PigPen seven’s college town, in a show that aims for the moon and lands with a giant leap in artful, engaging storytelling.”

“It is this show that defined our aesthetic, our way of telling a story, because this show is so universal that people have a tendency of leaning in very early…There’s a really wonderful sense in the room, right from the beginning of Matt [Nuernberger’s] beautiful narration at the top that really invites people in.” – Arya Shahi, PigPen Theatre Co. member
