Fireflies: The Story of the Artists of Terezin, Featuring the Original Children’s Opera BRUNDIBAR |
May 8-17, 2009 |
Recommended for ages 10+ |
Artist Friedl Dicker Brandies uses her art lessons to help the children imprisoned at the Terezin Concentration Camp in Czechoslovakia. At the same time, she struggles to protect them from the ultimate horror, transport to the death camps. When the International Red Cross presses for an inspection of the camp, the community is forced to contribute to the Nazi propaganda machine by creating a unique performance for the inspectors of the children’s opera Brundibar. What transpires during and after the performance shows us that no matter how huge the lie, truth and the human spirit can still triumph through the enduring strength of human love and creativity. |

Into The Woods |
December 4-14, 2008 |
Recommended for all ages! |
An ambivalent Cinderella? A blood-thirsty Little Red Ridinghood? A Prince Charming with a roving eye? They're all among the characters in this fractured fairy tale. When a Baker and his Wife learn they've been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone's wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. Come see all of your favorite Grimm’s fairytales and see what happens when their paths collide. |
