*Talespinner Children's Theatre*
*Proudly Announces its 2014 Season*

*Talespinner Children's Theatre (TCT)* Executive Artistic Director Alison
Garrigan is proud to announce their 2014 Season.  In its first two seasons,
TCT developed critical and audience acclaim, and a reputation for thinking
outside the box with its original, creative, unique, and intelligent
professional works for children.

 *“**TCT is a small yet mighty troupe that amazes in what it accomplishes…
I can see TCT quickly becoming a pride of Cleveland — one of those
institutions we brag about to curious travelers (and fellow parents.)*”
–Sarah Valek, Cool Cleveland

* **“**Talespinner is a marvelous entertainment resource for kids of all
ages, and their theater should be packed.”* –Christine Howey, Rave and Pan

 In 2014, audiences will meet pirates and a Greek tale-spinner named Aesop,
some unusual dolls (that are not what they seem,) a troublesome trickster,
and a little girl who dreams of sugarplums and nutcrackers.  Quite the
colorful cast of characters!  Come out and play!

* **ABOUT TALESPINNER CHILDREN'S THEATRE:* TCT is a Cleveland-based company
that develops and produces highly imaginative, original, collaborative and
interactive professional works for children that also stimulate creative
growth in its artists. At any time, these pieces may involve acting, dance,
music, puppetry, tumbling, drumming, and numerous other artistic
disciplines as imagined by the artistic teams working with and for TCT, and
are open to all creative possibility. TCT's aim is to bring theatre to the
community in its fullest form providing excitement, growth and joy for all
who are involved in and/or touched by its work.

TCT strives to reach across socio-economic, cultural and traditional
boundaries to help awaken and bring better understanding by opening eyes,
ears, hearts and imaginations in the young people (and artists) of
Cleveland and its surrounds.

TCT creates work that remembers that children are smaller people, not
lesser people.
