TALISMAN: THE FAIRYTALE LIFE OF HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN

Once upon a time (200 years ago), in a town far, far away (Odense , Denmark in fact!), a little boy named Hans Christian Andersen was born. Who ever thought that little boy would live a magical life and write fairy tales loved the world over? He did.

 

Touchstone Theatre returns to Philadelphia Children's Theatre with their remarkable cast of talented actors bringing this tale of a wonderful storyteller to life. WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE  * Not to be missed! Enjoyed best by ages 5 and up

*This project is partially supported by a grant from Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour, a program developed and funded by The Heinz Endowments; the William Penn Foundation; the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency; and The Pew Charitable Trusts; and administered by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation.

The little boy's mother did not enjoy playing the Drawing on the Walls game, or the Bang the Pots Before Anyone Is Awake game, or the Chase the Kitten and Pull Her Tail game. So she sent him to his room, but he wasn't going to his room, he wasn't, he wasn't, he wasn't! And he stomped, and he shouted , and he yelled so hard that his head flew right off

 

Philadelphia Children's Theatre presents this fantastical journey of a little boy who replaces his head with a box on the advice of the Moon, re-directs a Lost Explorer who can only travel backwards, tries to outwit the thieving Monkey King, and magically shrinks in size to climb a “giant” mountain. Workshops immediatly following the performance are available focusing on themes of self control, self awareness, creativity and complex problem solving. Best for grades K-5th, but adults love it too!.
