La Pulcina Piccola

(Chicken Little)
The celebrated puppet star of the Clothespin Repertory Theatre

A larger-than-life bird, La Pulcina Piccola’s story begins with the familiar "sky-is-falling incident," when an acorn falls on her head and she leads her barnyard friends to tell the king of impending disaster. When the friends part ways, La Pulcina goes on to fame, fortune, and extraordinary adventure.

Her eventful life includes forays into politics and the theatre (where she triumphs as Richard III), and--always, always--romance. A grandly life-embracing and life-affirming character, La Pulcina Piccola's approach to life is simple: enjoy today, for the sky may fall tomorrow.

The Clothespin Repertory Theatre

Dedicated to telling La Pulcina Piccola’s life story, the Clothespin Repertory Theatre (il teatro repertorio delle mollette) first production was Love’s Fowl, a multi-media operetta in Italian with English supertitles.
