Talespinner Children's Theatre Presents The Snowy Day and Other Stories by
Ezra Jack Keats

Talespinner Children's Theatre is thrilled to present the Snowy Day and
Other Stories by Ezra Jack Keats, adapted for the stage by Jerome Hairston,
and directed by Heather Utsler-Smith. The wonder of a fresh snowfall, the
delight of whistling for the first time, the awe in finding a special
treasure comes to life in this story that celebrates the joy in the small
moments of a child’s world, and will feature puppetry, music, and dance
that capture the beautiful spirit of the picture books.

This family-friendly production is well suited for children ages 4 and up,
and runs from December 3-18: Saturdays at 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm, and Sundays
at 3:00 pm. An ASL interpreted performance will be on December 18th made
possible by the HEARD. This will be Talespinner Children's Theatre's final
season at the Reinberger Auditorium in Gordon Square before transitioning
to a new space.

Featuring local actors: Isaiah Betts, Sa’Renn Nikol, Maria V.J. Matthews,
and Michael Martin, Costume design by Hannah Dougall, scenic design by Ren
Twardzik, scenic painting by Carrie Williams, and light design by Josh
Heidinger. Amiens Fowler and Kitty Wen are the Production Stage Managers.

“Audiences will feel as though they have been transported right into Keats’
vibrant children’s books in The Snowy Day and Other Stories. The show, just
like the stories it pulls from, truly captures the wonder of childhood.
>From the joy of an unexpected snow day, to the imagination and creativity
of transforming everyday objects into the BEST TOYS EVER, adults will feel
like kids again, and kids will feel seen as we all explore together” says
director Heather Utsler-Smith.
