The Girl and the Water Carrier is a 40-minute musical with puppetry for all ages that is currently touring venues in Los Angeles.  Based on Jewish folktale and children's book written by Klezmer artist, Yale Strom, the story tells of how a strong young woman helps the people in her shtetl of Pinsk during a cholera epidemic and finds love along the way.    
All vocals and instruments are performed live by the artists on stage. Drawing from hip hop, jazz, and klezmer,  the original score will pull on your heartstrings and keep your feet tapping!    
The set itself is a giant puppet and comes alive throughout the show. The characters, played by both live actors and puppets, offer imaginative and hopeful responses to our tech-dominated, pandemic-weary and deeply divided world.
