Curious Legends artistic director Mitchell Reese said the production would showcase Newcastle’s history, particularly in and around its working port.
“Over the last two months we’ve been busy collecting a large amount of stories, photographs and other materials to make the performance a fascinating show,” he said.
To take part in the performance members of the public need to attend one of two rehearsals on May 2 and May 3, between 4pm and 6pm. The actual performance will be held in Civic Park on May 5 at 5pm.
The free workshops to make puppets and props will be held at Curious Legends' studio at 8-10 Union Street, Newcastle West, April 29 and April 30, between 10am and 4pm.
