Showcase Performance, Hubbard Hall Freight Depot Theater: Friday, July 8 at 6pm

In this two-week daily summer theater program with Sylvia Bloom, kids ages five to seven years are introduced to the skills and magic of the theater. Through theater games, music, and art we form an ensemble cast experience in which everyone has a creative voice.  Every child has magical worlds within them--what will they create today?

Peter and the Blue Witch Baby is a Russian folktale in which a young Tsar Peter is searching for a bride. He refuses a beautiful woman, who turns out to be a witch, and travels to court the Little Sister of the Clouds. A strange baby with black teeth is brought to his palace for the servants to take care of while Peter is away. Along his journey he meets three giants, only to arrive at his destination and find out that the baby is now huge (and blue) and is destroying his palace! He must return to save the day!
