Thayer When a golden creature promises a poor husband and wife riches, they discover that all that glitters is not necessarily gold! Two golden twins, two golden horses, two golden lillies, a witch, and a comic romp make up this tale of what it means to find the REAL riches in life. This sparkling tale of loyalty, friendship, and family will have you on the edge of your seat. *THE CROCODILE, THE COBRA, & THE GIRL DOWN THE WELL – a Tale of India *June 4th – 26th By Anne McEvoy How does a girl get herself stuck in a well - and more to the point, how does she get herself out? And why on earth is this ancient storyteller telling her so many faerie tales? The answers unfold one magical tale of India at a time. *THE MUMMIES & THE MAGIC PRINCE – a Tale of Egyptian Mythology *Sept 17th – Oct 19th By Michael Sepesy What would you do if you found out where the most powerful book of magic ever written was hiding? Go after it, of course! A young Prince of Egypt does just that - only to find it guarded by some wily, funny, and very wise mummies who warn him of all the things that could go frightfully wrong if he takes and uses the book. Does he listen? Does he take it? Does he use it? Find out in this mystical, magical tale of Egypt. *HOOK & SMEE – a Tale of Never Never Land *Nov 26th – Dec 18th By T. Paul Lowry Captain Hook is a name to send delightful shivers down the spine of anyone who knows the tale of Peter Pan, and Tinkerbell. But have you ever wondered just how Hook came to Never Never Land with his merry (and comically despicable) band of buccaneers? This is the story of how Hook met Smee, and came to be the scourge of "the Land of Pan." All your favorite characters are here, but get ready for some giddy surprises that will make you clap your hands with glee. *TCT is located in The Reinberger Auditorium, 5209 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, OH 44102* *ABOUT 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. 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. TCT creates work that remembers that children are smaller people, not lesser people. *EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING*--now accepting registration for Spring 2015 Youth Theatre Arts Classes, running March 5th – April 30th.
