Sibling rivalry takes center stage as Simon faces choices about his role as the protective big brother and his desire to gain celebrity status.

Rapunzel

Using simple, innocent language perfect for young theatre-goers, our reimagined version of the classic tale takes on new life and a softer message in a beautifully adapted and visually moving story.
Nan so loves her adopted daughter, Rapunzel, that she builds her a wonderful tower to keep her safe from the dangers of the world. As Rapunzel grows, she and Nan argue as Rapunzel tests boundaries and seeks independence. Rapunzel wishes to see the world, so Nan builds the tower higher so Rapunzel can see clear to the horizon. One day, Rapunzel meets a young boy named Rafi and as their friendship grows, Rapunzel gains the courage to leave the tower and seek adventure beyond the walls she calls home. Nan, at first afraid that Rapunzel will not return, lets her go, and through her selflessness learns an important lesson of her own.
Themes | Rapunzel focuses on the parent/child relationship as it tests the boundaries of love, trust, perseverance and independence.
Recommended for K – 5th grades
