by Kulture Kids Admin via NEohioPAL 17 Aug '15

17 Aug '15

*What Happened to The Golden Rule?* *Kulture Kids’ Original Children’s Theater Performance Shows Manners Matter* Children and their families are invited to journey with a zany (and not so polite) archaeologist in search of The Lost Temple of Ma’at, the Egyptian goddess of truth, justice, and civility. Ancient Egypt comes to life in a spectacle of magic, comedy, music, dance, and hieroglyphics that urges us all to remember our manners. This is a show you don’t want kids to miss! Kulture Kids’ newest original children’s theater production, *Ma’at is Missing: Deciphering Manners* addresses the seeming lack of civility, manners, and kindness in society today. The audience is tasked with helping a nutty professor discover and unravel clues to the Lost Temple of Ma’at and decipher the ancient hieroglyphics within that illustrate how we should treat one another. From simple etiquette when coughing or sneezing, to how we consider others’ thoughts and feelings before we speak, Ma’at is Missing guides children on an expedition to find out why our manners matter. Ma’at is Missing: Deciphering Manners will take the stage on August 21 at 7:00pm, August 22 at 3:00pm and 7:00pm, and August 23 at 7:00pm. A hands-on family art workshop is included in the ticket price and will take place 30 minutes before the start of each performance. A reception will follow the opening night performance. The performance will tour throughout September and October 2015 at branches of the Cuyahoga County Public Library. Additionally, schools, libraries, community centers, and other venues are encouraged to bring Ma’at to their venue by contacting Kulture Kids at schedule(a)kulturekids.org. Funding by CUYAHOGA ARTS AND CULTURE, THE GEORGE GUND FOUNDATION, and THE OHIO ARTS COUNCIL. *PERFORMANCE DETAILS* *DATES/TIMES* August 21 at 7:00PM, August 22 at 3:00PM & 7:00PM, August 23 at 3:00PM *LOCATION* Kultivation Theater, 2134 Lee Road, Cleveland Heights, 44118 *TICKETS* $10 each, includes performance and pre-show family arts workshop *AGES* This show is ideal for children between the ages of 4 and 10, but all children and adults are welcome. *ABOUT KULTURE KIDS* Founded by Robin Pease in 1999, Kulture Kids is a nonprofit dedicated to promoting and enhancing arts and cultural awareness for children through arts education programming.

When her husband offers hospitality to a stranger, Paulina, haunted by her past, believes she recognizes their guest’s voice as that of the man who tortured her 15 years earlier. The 48 hours that follow radically alter the lives of all three. This 1991 thriller gave a new voice to women’s survivorship awareness, and is an unforgettable three-handed acting triumph. Mamai Artistic Associate and Director Katia P. Schwarz notes: “What resonates for me is that Paulina’s experiences represent the stories of countless others who have lived through the brutal dictatorships of Latin America, South Africa’s Apartheid era and others. The play serves as a stark reminder of the human rights violations we continue to witness in the world today.” *Special Pre-Show Event:* *Wednesday, September 2 at 6:30 pmDISCUSSION WITH DEATH AND THE MAIDEN DIRECTOR & MAMAI THEATRE COMPANY MEMBERS* Beachwood Branch - Cuyahoga County Public Library 25501 Shaker Blvd. Beachwood, OH Join DEATH AND THE MAIDEN director Katia P.

This type of funding strengthens our community and enriches the quality of life in our neighborhoods for people of all ages.
