Hansel and Gretel by Patchwork Players

Rivertown Theaters

July 10, 2014
Come see the classic Hansel and Gretel! 

The late Buzz Podewell, founder of Patchwork Players and his troupe of zany actors had  been acting silly for so long that grandmothers remember coming to the shows as kids. Since 1984, each June and July they performed two different plays at the Rogers Memorial Chapel on the Tulane uptown campus. The company has been very popular over the years presenting a different program every four years. They dance, sing, tell jokes and interact with audience members, engaging several tots in the cast at each performance. This season, Rivertown Theaters is delighted to offer the Patchwork Players family-friendly shows once again for great summer fun for families.

Starring: Gary Rucker, Greg Stratton, Joe Seibert, Mike Harkins, Chrissy  Garrett, and Shelley Rucker   
Director: Jessica Podewell
