Capt'n Matt's Treasure Hunt is a fun, interactive one-man puppet show in which
the audience helps to track down the elusive pirate Stink Beard who has stolen
the treasure. The theme of the show is books and reading. The "treasure"
we are after is the captain's giant magic storybook, which we find after a
musical adventure to different islands and meeting many comical characters. The
children are enchanted by the book's big pop-up pages, as it tells the story of
our adventure of finding the book; a story within a story kind of thing. The
children leave with the idea that stories come from their own life experiences,
and that each child is a story in the making. The show runs one hour, promising
laughter, music and audience participation.
Capt'n Matt's Treasure Hunt has been presented to
