Earthchild and the Waking Up: An Eco-drama for Young Audiences
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Theatre for youth at Saint Mary's College is back! After a forced hiatus over the past two years, the Performing Arts Department at Saint Mary's is excited to announce that we will resume our annual January Term productions for young audiences in 2023. Our January 2023 production will premiere an original script, Earthchild and the Waking Up: An Eco-Drama for Young Audiences.
The play tells the story of a young girl who receives a message from the trees - "Help us!" - and sets out on a mythic journey to the Center of Power to relay it. Along the way she makes friends, overcomes obstacles, meets animal allies, is healed by the Mother Tree, has insights about humanity's interdependence with nature, and ultimately passes on her message to the Bigwigs at the Center of Power. Will it be enough? Will her words fall on deaf ears? Come and find out!
The show's running time will be a brisk 50 minutes, leaving time for a post-show enrichment activity: a 10-minute environmental literacy workshop led by the Saint Mary's students involved in the production.
Masks are required.
For the 9:30 am and 11:30 am shows, the tickets are $8. For the 4 pm and 6 pm shows, the tickets are $12.
