The Experiment . . .
Creating this production has been an experiment in involving children in the rehearsal process. Instead of gathering a group of adults together to generate theatre for children, we decided to invite our children (ages 8 months to 8 years) to rehearse with us. We developed the show as a group, using Silverstein’s poem as the basis of our inspiration. There was no particular agenda regarding how the children would be involved. They could perform with us, watch quietly on the sidelines, play and shriek on the sidelines or ask to be held by their performing parent. Involving children in the production from its beginning has enriched and challenged our creative process. We now invite you to join us!
