The Pelican is one of EC Hanna's 1st animatronic puppets he created. Pickwick Puppet Theater founder E.C. Hanna, like many children, has fond memories of spending time with his Grandmother growing up. As a kid, Hanna’s grandmother created and preformed puppet shows which sparked a fire in him. Hanna soon joined his Grandmother in making and performing puppet shows and has never stopped. Today, you can catch Hanna and the Pickwick Puppet Theater performing Charles Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” all season long at Dickens’ Christmas Towne. A Christmas Carol The Pickwick Puppet Theater’s production of a “Christmas Carol” is definitely a one of a kind performance. To create the puppet adaptation, Hanna started with the full text of the book, and then reduced it to make applicable for a stage show and then took some creative liberties, including a Ghost of Christmas Pheasant opposed to Present. The show consists of 22 puppets brought to life by four puppeteers along with three live actors to join the fun. “One thing that is really neat here at Dickens’ Christmas Towne is we place a high value on literature, which I think it very important because I think too often children’s literature is watered down, and I think that is a bad thing.” The show is great for those young and old who enjoy a lively and funny re-telling of a “Christmas Carol”. But Hanna has particularly geared the production to Elementary school age children. And don’t expect to sit quietly and let the puppets do all the work during the show, as audience participation is a must! There are opportunities to be engaged in the show and yell “Bah Humbug” with Scrooge. @ec.hanna #dickenschristmastrains #dickenschristmastowne.com @nauticusnorfolk #myveerlog #iwasthere #2018 #LetsVeeR #360 #samsung360 #hamptonroads #757Collective #visitnorfolk #HatsOff4Heroes #localguide #localguideconnect #tinyplanet #tinyplanets #photooftheday #360photography #lifeina360degreeview #Lifein360 #Featureme #ContentCreator 12/15/18 (at Nauticus) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrbvXjpH-OA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jzalad4auu85
