Novel told through music, dance and puppetry

Since receiving his first Helen Hayes Award in 1994 for Sound Design, George Fulginiti-Shakar has earned two more of the coveted awards. A big part of the area theatrical and cabaret shows, he is in demand as music director, pianist and vocal coach.

Once again, his creativity is evident in the world premiere of “The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe” at Imagination Stage in collaboration with the Washington Ballet. Running through mid-August, the show based on the C.S. Lewis novel is a unique marriage of theater, dance and puppetry featuring a life-size puppet operated by three actor/puppeteers.
