Review: Biglittlethings @ Image Theater + Win Tickets | Runs Through January 3
December 22, 2009 — PDXPIPELINEBy Tiffany Garner
Take a Kid or Take Some Acid
Imago theatre never fails to impress. Creativity and imagination just pour out of that brick building. The moment this play started I was entranced and giggling like I was just another 4 year old in the theatre. There were giant bunnies on the stage! The gasp from the kids was adorable. In fact listening to their reactions was half the fun and I don't even like kids. They were so fascinated and excited by everything that I became just as enthralled.
The costumes were fantastically creative, of course. There were frogs, fireflies and hippos (a big hit with the kids) and crazy acrobats jumping into their costumes. The technical staff is to be applauded for their amazing work; they must have a blast coming up with this stuff. The lighting effects were a huge part of this performance, especially the underwater black light scenes. The crazy glowing fish caused a great stir with the kids and made me wonder why I hadn't scheduled to see the play on a Friday night rather than a Sunday afternoon.
The whole thing basically felt like I was watching a live episode of The Muppets, one of those trippy early episodes that is. It was super fun the entire time. If you don't have a kid and can't find one to borrow make sure to go with someone that can cut loose and laugh out loud. This play really brings out the kid in you so let loose, gasp and giggle, oooh and ahhh…it feels great.
