WHAT
For the second tale of our fifth season, we take audiences to a glittering
and storied India with The Crocodile, The Cobra and the Girl Down the Well
(A Tale of India), adapted by Anne McEvoy and directed by Melissa Crum.
Puppets and movement created by respected Cleveland performance scene
veteran and Cuyahoga County's Community Partnership for Arts and Culture
(CPAC) 2016 Creative Workforce Fellow Alison Garrigan.

Through the TCT ensemble process, professional cast members and creative
team work together to turn a locally produced script into a cohesive,
thoughtful experience for children and families that remembers that
children are smaller people, not lesser people.

Four of the five cast members of this production are new to the TCT stage,
providing a fresh take on a successful formula. Rising star production
director Melissa Crum, a TCT performing veteran, takes the helm for this
production in her first appearance as a director with the company.  Melissa
is quickly becoming a go-to director in the area, having recently helmed
critically acclaimed productions at Cleveland Public Theatre, and True
North Cultural Arts, among others.  Currently she takes the lead on the
2016 Marilyn Bianchi Kids' Playwrighting Festival at Dobama Theatre.

About the Tale
When seven year old Sia finds herself in an unexpected predicament, she
must turn to her wits for a solution. With the help of a mystical,
mysterious old storyteller, can she find the wisdom–and the patience–to get
herself back out of it? The answer unfolds, one magical tale of India at a
time! Buy your tickets to The Crocodile, the Cobra, & the Girl Down the
Well (a Tale of India)! And help us by telling your friends!
