*Talespinner Children’s Theatre*
*Goes on Tour with an Encore Presentation*
*of Its Very First Show*
*THE TALE OF THE NAME OF THE TREE*
Talespinner Children’s Theatre (TCT) will bring back the production that
started it all, THE TALE OF THE NAME OF THE TREE when it takes it on the
road east to Dobama Theatre, 2340 Lee Rd., Cleveland Hts, Ohio, for four
performances Friday, July 11 at 10am and 1pm, and Saturday, July 12 at
10am and 1pm.
When the animals run out of food, it will take the King of Beasts and a
magical tree to save them… but only if they can remember its name! This
adaptation of a Bantu folktale brings together storytelling, puppets,
masks, percussion, and dance to create a rhythmic, exciting, and entrancing
world. THE TALE OF THE NAME OF THE TREE is a universal story — a story that
springs from a proud and beautiful cultural origin, it speaks to children
everywhere with themes that are recognizable throughout the world — believe
in yourself, and don't judge a book by its cover. This is a celebration of
story-telling that uses elements of style from different parts of the globe
to create a tale that reaches out to everyone.
