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. <br> <br>
Fridays are Ohio Savings Bank Pay-What-You-Can Performances. Tickets
are not available online, but will be waiting for you at the box office
for whatever price your family can afford to pay. Group rates are
available for every performance!<br> <br> Second-Sundays are Stay &
PLAY following the shows - for about an hour, our education staff and
even some of our characters from the show will stick around and help you
play theatre games, make a craft, take a selfie and more!<br> <br>
Third-Saturdays are 1PM Science and a Show program, powered by The
Children's Museum of Cleveland! Come any time after our box office opens
(which is always 1 hour before every performance!) and complete a
science experiment related to the show!<br> <br> Ask us about 10AM School Matinees by emailing TCT Director of Education and Outreach Katelyn Cornelius at <a href="mailto:kc.tctorg@gmail.com">kc.tctorg@gmail.com</a><br> <br>
Take your family on a year-long journey around the world with TCT!
We're heading to new and exciting destinations to hear tales unlike
you've heard anywhere else! Check out our ways to save money with our
subscription packages and let your imagination PLAY this 2018!<br> <br>
With the help of five amazing women playwrights, we will bring stories
from Nigeria, Thailand, Canada & Alaska, Israel, and Poland to
vibrant, heart-opening, mind-tickling, toe-tapping, colorful &
joyous life. On our main stage, come with us to Nigeria, for "The Oba
Asks For a Mountain," by Gail Nyoka, in which a young man learns that
using your head can overcome the toughest obstacles. 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 "A 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.</span></span>
