The Giving Tree & The Little Match Girl
Your children will love this live-action, play pairing of Shel Silverstein's touching and tender parable "The Giving Tree". Silverstein's classic children's book is about the simple gifts nature offers each of us. Through a boy and a loving apple tree, Silverstein's story follows the seasons of life from young child to old man, from joyous youth to self-centered adolescence, from somber adulthood to bittersweet old age. The story teaches that giving is the most enduring gift and love life's most rewarding legacy.
LATC's The Little Match Girl is a Worldwide Stage Premiere of Hans Christian Anderson's timeless story about a poor young girl who sells matches so that she and her sick grandmother may enjoy a Christmas dinner. Embellishing the story with various characters and moral conflicts is both a learning experience for children as well as a compassionate rendering of a endearing fairytale. The powerful message of Christmas giving and hope in the face of despair is not only timely, but essential. In fact, LATC's production offers many heart-warming and enduring life messages that teach children honor, dignity, forgiveness, and the spiritual value of giving. "Not to be missed." "You will laugh, shed a few tears, and walk out of the theater with a resonating, life-changing moral lesson."
The Giving Tree: The Play is totally interactive and a delight for children and adults of all ages. Not only does the storyteller become part of the play, but music, various costumes and characters, squirt-guns, bubble-makers, snowflakes, apples, and a host of other dramatic effects make this a must see for anyone familiar with Silverstein's endearing story.
