Little Night Stories

The performance invites you to experience together that essential time before going to bed, when an adult tells or reads a fairy tale and beloved soft toys, right there by the bed, listen patiently, often becoming participants in dream stories. Sometimes these adventures and experiences are so vivid that they stay in memory even into adulthood. The characters they meet, Uncle Boo, little Jeanne, and the Keeper of Sleep, who is so much like Mom, are participants in such fantasy stories.

We invite young and grown-up spectators to bring their teddy bears and other beloved soft toys so that together we can enter a world where, just as in Kitty Crowther's book, the boundary between waking and dreaming dissolves.
