TALESPINNER CHILDREN'S THEATRE: TCT is a Cleveland-based company that
develops and produces highly imaginative, original, collaborative and
interactive professional works for children that also stimulate creative
growth in its artists. At any time, these pieces may involve acting,
dance, music, puppetry, tumbling, drumming, and numerous other artistic
disciplines as imagined by the artistic teams working with and for TCT,
and are open to all creative possibility. TCT's aim is to bring theatre
to the community in its fullest form providing excitement, growth and
joy for all who are involved in and/or touched by its work. Finn
McCool (a Tale of Irish Mythology) continues TCT’s fourth exciting
season of bringing world stories to Cleveland-area families and
children. The 2015 mainstage season began with Rosalynde & the
Falcon (A Topsy-Turvy Tale of England), was followed by The Silent
Princess (a Turkish Folktale), and concludes with Prince Ivan & the
Firebird (a Russian Tale of Magic.)<br><br>TCT strives to reach across
socio-economic, cultural and traditional boundaries to help awaken and
bring better understanding by opening eyes, ears, hearts and
imaginations in the young people (and artists) of Cleveland and its
surrounds.<br><br>TCT creates work that remembers that children are smaller people, not lesser people.</span></font></span></div><br><br><br clear="all"></div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div dir="ltr">Alison Garrigan<br>
