ABOUT TOUGH TURKEY

What happens when a turkey from the sticks meets a Park Avenue pigeon? With the feel of an old-time radio show, Tough Turkey in the Big City follows the comic blunders of Tom Turkey, who leaves the farm to try his luck in the big city. There’s a close call with a menacing chef, a tussle at the Turkey Club, a brief romance with a pigeon, and a happy mix-up at the Thanksgiving Day parade. The story is brought to live by some of Calgary’s finest musicians and the puppet wizardry of Green Fools Theatre Company.

Recommended for children aged 5 to 12 but created with the entire family in mind.
