About the Tale:
In far-off Nigeria, The Oba, a king of great wealth and power, wants it
ALL, and expects to get what he wants. And he wants the lands of the Ilesha
people. Most people would simply do what he asks, but when he comes up
against the wit and humor of three young friends who call these lands home,
he may have asked for more than he bargained for.Every ticket to a TCT show
is a passport to enter a world of joyous imagination!
The rest of the season:
Later this year, sail away to Thailand in "The Princess & The Nightingale,"
by Marian Fairman, and meet a clever bird who teaches the true meaning of
trust and loyalty. Next, visit the Inuit people of Canada and Alaska to
learn about how we came to have night and day, in "The Boy Who Stole the
Sun," adapted by Alison Garrigan and produced in collaboration with
L.E.N.A.C., The Lake Erie Native American Council, and finally, join us in
Israel for "The Song in the Flame," by Margi Herwald-Zitelli to learn how
even distance can be a gift during this heart-warming Hannukah story. TCT’s
touring production this year takes us to Poland in "Jan & the Trickster,"
by Krysia Orlowski. In this funny, magical tale, see how Jan learns to use
wits and true friendship to win the day.
