Hamid Rahmanian's Song of the North

About this event

Created by Hamid Rahmanian, this multimedia family theater production uses shadow puppetry and projected animation to reimagine the Persian epic Shahnameh. Centered on the heroine Manijeh, the show features 483 handmade puppets and an ensemble of actors and puppeteers, offering imaginative storytelling for young audiences. Pasadena Playhouse lists the run as March 21 through March 29, 2026, and recommends it for ages 6 to 12 and families.
