Yellow Boat Photos

Trista Polo as Joy, the art therapist with Felix Steiny as Benjamin in The Yellow Boat. The projection in the background serves as a diagram of what Benjamin is drawing. The incredible projections are created by Matthew Slaats, an interactive artist and professor at Vassar College.







Benjamin (Felix Steiny) learns to climb with the help of his mother (Stefanie Salzmann) and father (Neil Flint Worden).










All Aboard the Yellow Boat!! Benjamin and his friends (Ryan Walter, Trista Polo, Emma Knauss and Sam Rebelein) fantasize about the magical lands they will visit aboard this boat. AFTER they settle the fight about who will steer!















Benjamin translates the words of the puppet "Giant King of the Svengalese" to buddy Ryan Walter.

As a recent addition to Half Moon Theatre, I have had a wonderful experience so far in my role as Associate Artist. I have had a wonderful opportunity to contribute to such an amazing mission and look forward to enjoying many years with the company. My first experience was as a last minute addition to the cast of Cinderella: A New Telling of an Old Tale. The talent on the stage was second to none and each scene I was in and each song we performed were done with commitment and dedication to putting on the best possible performance. I will not be able to act in any shows this season but am looking forward to a behind the scenes role and taking back the acting staff next season.
