Living Folklore has unleashed a hilarious
theatrical presentation of Giggly Sprout's Paintings called,
"Is This Art?" In this show, Living Folklore brings
you a cast of diverse and eccentric characters that comment
on the artistic process, art philosophy, Giggly's
Paintings, and the role of art within culture. Between
monologues by the experts the audience is treated to live
rag-time piano from Roland Bones, a silent-movie piano player
from the 1930's. At the end of the show, Giggly Sprout appears
with a dance and a rhyme to tell you what the paintings
mean to her. This show is an especially great program for
art educators, students, and artists. Length, approx. 50
minutes
Meet the show's characters below...

Mr. Meticuloso

skill, and the importance of suffering. Needless to
say he is not impressed with Giggly's art... |
