Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers Bring The Grinch to The Grand!

ELLSWORTH, Maine - The Grand begins its family offerings in December when the Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers present their annual take on everyone’s favorite holiday character, the Grinch, live on the Stanley Subaru Stage on Friday, December 2nd at 6 pm and Saturday, December 3rd at 1 pm (directly after The Downtown Ellsworth Christmas Parade).

The Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers revisit their twist on the Grinch with typical Frogtown foibles and physical comedy. The puppeteers are a small troupe based in Bar Harbor, Maine, and are comprised of three siblings – Erik Torbeck, Brian Torbeck, and Robin Erlandsen. Founded in 2000, Frogtown Mountain has performed at fairs, festivals, theaters, parades, schools, libraries, and some of the finest petting zoos on the East Coast, as well as their beloved shows at The Grand. Their annual zany attack on the Grinch story, populated by the group’s hand-made glove, mouth, and rod puppets, is sure to please all ages.

Tickets for this General Admission production are on sale now and are $9 for adults and $6 for youth 12 and under. Tickets can be obtained at the box office, by phone, or online at grandonline.org.
