PigPen Theatre Co.

PigPen Theatre Company (stylized as PigPen Theatre Co.) is a New York City-based indie folk band and theater company formed in 2007. As a band, the group writes, records, and tours music of the folk genre; as a theater company, the music is used to support original folk theatrical productions written and often performed by the members of the band themselves. The band's theatrical work, which combines movement, puppetry, and music to tell original folk tales, has been described as "Once meets Peter and the Starcatcher" by BroadwayWorld. The members of the group cite The Decemberists, Anaïs Mitchell, Woody Guthrie, Forrest Gump, Neil Gaiman, and Jim Henson's The StoryTeller as among their influences.
