Dandi Productions: Symphony Orchestra Shows for Young Audiences
Dandi Productions was established in 1997 by Canadian performers Doug McKeag and Onalea Gilbertson to develop new and innovative programming for orchestras.
Together with master puppeteer Judd Palmer, McKeag and Gilbertson developed a brand new kind of performance concert, which features strong comedic acting, unusual puppets (by the Old Trout Puppet Workshop) and a great respect for the highly original scores and entertaining scripts.
Since then, the company has adapted and created FIVE delightful concerts for Young Audiences. They have commissioned original stories and scripts, as well as full orchestra scores. Dandi's concert productions feature top-notch acting and all-ages comedy. All of the music is professionaly prepared and published. Technical requirements are quite reasonable.
