Prepare yourself for Kitt the Kinder-Whisperer! She’s a high-octane Danish girl whose greatest delight comes from reenacting her grandfather’s grisly folk tales to young neighborhood children. Witness this outcast child entrust a group of strangers to help fight her darkest battle. In Kitt’s world, stories produce reality. Stories come from everywhere: suitcases, shadow puppets, songs, and the bits of leftover food she saved from lunch. There is light and darkness. Humour and pathos. English and Danish. Attention Deficit Disorder. It’s an experience rated E for Everyone, which critics have said is “like something you would expect to see in a Wes Andersen film.”

– Charlebois Post
“Half the time I was bawling, the other half I was laughing out loud. Hansen’s manipulation of found object puppets- many of which are made of food- is so lifelike that you find it hard to believe they aren’t alive.” –The Craig Review
“Visually stunning, superbly performed and incredibly inventive, Little Orange Man stands out from the pack. At once haunting and hilarious, Little Orange Man offers both heart and thought. An enchanting, fantastical theatre dream.” – CVV Magazine
SNAFU has toured Little Orange Man to sold-out houses in Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary, Victoria, and Vancouver, winning seven different awards including Most Outstanding Overall Production in Ottawa and Montreal.
