Ralph Lee’s Mettawee River Theatre Company: Out of the Past

Renowned puppet and mask maker Ralph Lee will present his Mettawee River Theatre Company in “OUT OF THE PAST: Celebrating 40 Years of the Mettawee Journey,” a feast of excerpts from four decades of Mettawee productions. Music is by Neal Kirkwood and will be performed by the multi-talented Ed RosenBerg on alto and bass saxophone, hammered dulcimer, accordion and any number of rattles, bells and drums.

According to Ralph Lee: “These headstrong characters have been clamoring to be let out of their boxes for another fling in front of their fans, so I finally decided to let them have their way. Here goes! I take no responsibility for their behavior.”

Ralph Lee’s superb puppets, masks and giant figures have been seen in productions at the Metropolitan Opera, The Living Theater, Lincoln Center Repertory Theatre, even Saturday Night Live (that naughty Land Shark). The retrospective of scenes from many Lee plays will be a feast of his remarkable work over the years, performed by a company of Mettawee veterans who will come together for this very special occasion. Perfect for all ages. Held in the Outdoor Garden of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, 111th Street & Amsterdam (not in the main cathedral). Chairs are provided, and audience members may also bring their own blankets for seating closer to the stage area.
