The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents the Blair Thomas & Co. Puppet Theatre: "Moby Dick" on Friday, February 5, 2016. Melville's famed narrator Ishmael recounts his journey on the Pequod as Captain Ahab's relentless pursuit of the White Whale leads the entire crew to the depths of the ocean's great unknown. The words and contemplations of this great American novel are brought to life on the stage through bunraku puppets, rolling paper scrolls, and a unique combination of folk songs by Michael Smith and the ambient sound of percussionist Michael Zerang. Founded in 2002, Blair Thomas & Company is an internationally recognized Chicago-based theatre company creating innovative puppetry performances incorporating musical, literary, and puppetry traditions to create uniquely expressive spectacle theatre. Recommended for ages 13 and older. Tickets can be purchased online, by calling the Box Office at 540-231-5300 or by visiting the Box Office in person within the Moss Arts Center from 10 am - 6 pm, Monday-Friday and 10 am - 4 pm on Saturday.
