Bevan-John, with the help of beautiful masks and puppets, plays a multitude of characters, from a Grandpa Wizard Hobo, to a dragon and even the moon, but mostly he guides his audience into helping him create their magical words through harnessing their own creative minds. We get to play and engage with the characters, as opposed to simply watching something created for us by someone we can\u2019t see. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The story is clear and tightly constructed. Happy Hobo, with the help of his friend Crow, must go to Moonland to help his Grandpa Wizard Hobo rescue Pan, the spirit of nature, from the evil aynrynd, who steals dreams and fosters laziness and unhappiness. There are some beautiful messages woven into the story, but Bevan-John firmly roots his tale in fun, silliness and a full hearted love for play. Adults will leave uplifted. Children will relish in the permission to do what is most natural for them- use their imaginations.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>The Happy Hobo in Moonland<\/em> plays at the Waiting Room (6040 Almon Street) at the following times:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Saturday September 12th at 1:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sunday September 13th at 3:25pm<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>rhys bevan-john and dragon At a time when many children<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4671],"tags":[3212,4166,3271],"class_list":["post-2666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-review","tag-halifax-fringe","tag-rhys-bevan-john","tag-the-waiting-room"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Happy Hobo In Moonland - The Way I See It Theatre &amp;
