Talespinner Children's Theatre (TCT) Executive Artistic Director Alison
Garrigan is proud to announce the opening of *The Floating Dolls—a Polish
Folktale *this Saturday*,* June 14th and running through July 6th at the
Reinberger Auditorium, 5209 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH, 44102.


Poor baby Anatol won't stop crying — and it's driving everyone loony! With
help from a mysterious old woman, nine magical rag dolls, and a river of
tears, one town's trouble could flow into a new kind of happiness.   Through
story, song, and the magic of puppets, come with TCT to *two* far-away
lands—where we see that children and babies are the same the world over,
and families come in all shapes and sizes.

*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.   *The Floating Dolls—a
Polish Folktale *continues TCT’s third producing season, which began with
the audience and critically acclaimed *Aesop’s Pirate Adventure*, and
includes *Loki & Lucy* (September 20th through October 12th), and *Clara
and the Nutcracker *(November 29th through December 21st.)

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.
