Description of show:
Folktales are
performed using an array of props, humor and song. Then it’s
time for Story Theater. About 4- 6 child volunteers come up and
perform a story or two with fun props. The rest of the audience
fully participates in joining in the call and response parts of
the tales. At the end they learn the Story Soup Song...
singing the importance of everyone’s story.
Children
are encouraged to become the hero of their own story by
reading, and learning to be who they want to be. They are also
encouraged after the show to learn stories from
their family and ancestors, breathing life into the lost oral
traditions of culture. This creates a rich and personal
connection to stories and their lives.
