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 <span style> </span>Friday, July 11 at 10am and 1pm, and Saturday,
July 12 at 10am and 1pm.<span style> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt">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.</p>
