THE TROLLSONS

Presented by Pangaea Arts

Part of our 2026 Spring Break Programming!

ABOUT THE SHOW

Come deep into a fantastical forest as four masked characters and a live musician bring to life the folklore of Scandinavian trolls. It’s Grandpa Trollson’s 200th birthday party, but he refuses to come out of his tree stump to celebrate! But with the help of the audience, Grandpa cannot resist the power of storytelling. Join us for three truly interactive tales based on stories by Hans Christian Andersen, featuring live music, incredible masks, physical comedy, improvisation, and good old-fashioned troll trouble!
