WH_The Little Prince logoWalterhoope, in collaboration with Baker Hunt Art and Cultural Center, will present a new bilingual reimagining of Cummins and Scoullar’s THE LITTLE PRINCE for the stage.

The show will run for one weekend only: Friday May 18 at 7PM, Saturday May 19 at 7PM, and Sunday May 20 at 2pm. Performances will take place at Baker Hunt, 620 Greenup Street, Covington, KY 41011. Single tickets, which include a meal, are now on sale for $20 at https://app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=walt. Children 12 years old and under get in FREE, and in the event of rain performances will take place indoors.

With THE LITTLE PRINCE, Walterhoope celebrates the unrestrained imagination of youth by setting the action in the beautiful gardens of Baker Hunt and using everyday garden objects to tell the story.

Directed by William Vaughan, starring Audrey Bertaux and David Mavricos, the play features two actors playing 13 characters and speaking two languages. True to the Walterhoope style, a community gathering will surround the event, consisting of a French-inspired meal and family friendly activities.

“I feel like all art that is created stems from the imagination and sense of wonder that is inherent in every child,” says Director William Vaughan, “I wanted to celebrate these things with this production as we explore what is essential, yet invisible to the eye.”

Walterhoope’s THE MACBETHS Reimagines Shakespeare, Blending Theatre and Culinary Arts

MISC_The Macbeths promo

William Vaughan & Audrey Bertaux.

Walterhoope, a new arts organization, in collaboration with Baker Hunt Art and Cultural Center and In the Field will present THE MACBETHS, a reimagining of Shakespeare’s Macbeth conceived by Walterhoope, served up with a meal sourced from local gardens.

The show will run for two nights only, Friday July 28 and Saturday July 29 at 7 PM at Baker Hunt, 620 Greenup Street, Covington, KY 41011. Single tickets, which include the meal, are now on sale for $12 at www.bakerhunt.org. The event is recommended for ages 12+.

How far would you go to get what you think you deserve? In Walterhoope’s THE MACBETHS, they explore Shakespeare’s classic tale of intrigue and ambition, prophecy and paranoia in the context of present-day America.

Directed by David Mavricos, starring Audrey Bertaux and William Vaughan, THE MACBETHS is Shakespeare braided into entirely new material: half Shakespeare, half Walterhoope. Celebrated Educational Chef Kristen St. Clair, owner of In the Field, will be creating a unique menu inspired by THE MACBETHS that will be served to the audience before the play begins. The play will also include original music by Kaleel Skeirik, composer and Professor of Music at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.

“I want to create an environment where the audience can really connect with the artists involved,” says director David Mavricos. “What better way to do that than over a delicious, home-grown meal in Baker Hunt’s beautiful garden?”
