The PigPen Theatre Company is a septet of young singers, musicians, puppeteers, writers, actors and directors. They were the darlings of the 2010 and 2011 NYC International Fringe Festivals. And now they’ve got a new full-length show, The Old Man And The Old Moon. Their songs grow out of what critic Greil Marcus calls "Old Weird America" and their stories harken back to traditional fables and folk tales.
PigPen Theatre Company joins in the Soundcheck studio to play songs from its album Bremen.
