Mr. Malcolm
MR. MALCOLM’S MUSIC FACTORY
is an all-ages puppet show devoted to social/emotional learning and having fun! Mr. Malcolm and his friends – Lord Boom Boom Stick the cat, Willow the garden weasel, and Sandewanda the lizard create music and rhythms in their lighthouse factory.
But something has been happening: Strange blotches have been attaching to the lighthouse lamp, making the light dimmer and changing everyone’s mood! As things get darker, Malcolm and his pals have to discover what they can do to bring back the light!
The show debuted as a half-hour stage puppet musical at The Broadwater Theater as part of the 2022 Hollywood Fringe Festival. The original script was written by Matt Ritchey and the music was composed by Malcolm Moore.
The show co-starred acclaimed puppeteers and and was praised as a funny, musical, and emotionally relevant show that kids needed. A financial success as well, recouping its budget and making a small profit, the show is now ready and looking to travel to schools, museums, and festivals.
