interactive theater for kids

Presents

First the Play
There was once a boy who loved to play the flute. One day he forgets his flute in the yam field. To get it back he must face the stinky spirits that inhabit the field at night. His honesty and good manners serve him well and he receives more in return than he expected. Filled with movement and music, this humorous story will captivate children and adults alike. Most appropriate for ages 2-9 years old.

Then the “Play”
After the performance, the children are invited to play with the performers! Known as “Original Play”, this is an opportunity to the kids to interact with the performers one on one. The kids are invited to come onto the mats and crawl, roll and tumble on, under and all around the performers. See website www.originalplay.org for more info.

Comments from Past Attendees

"Thank you for one of the most wonderful performances I have ever seen. I expected to have a good time, but did not expect to be so moved and delighted and enchanted."

"Thank you for creating this theater and doing this play that reaches these young ones where they are. You are so wonderful to watch! Nothing wasted - clean, crisp, fabulous. No gimicks or gunk, just your ever expanding selves. Each time my daughter and I come, I get to see what new place she is in, as she takes each next step, of sitting by herself on the mat, of going out to play with you. In her own time as we allow. So beautiful. Where is there to rush to anyways?"

"Their work is phenomenal. Certainly groundbreaking when it comes to children's theatre -- they are not the typical totally-goofy kiddo fare, they are educational, FUN and still hold meaning."

"Their [the children's] imaginations are completely engaged in sharp contrast to shows that are all fanfare and noise. Thank you again and expect to see a lot of us in the future!"

"Your work/play--or is it play/work--is so attentive to real human needs (physical, emotional, spiritual). The rules of Original Play are rules to live by off the mat as well as on. And the work of play is perhaps the most important work we humans can do. I am writing, really, to tell you how valuable--and deeply beautiful--your work is."
