JUST 6 TICKETS LEFT! Little Theater of the
Deaf presents The Giving Tree and Other Stories. "Once there
was a tree...and she loved a little boy." Shel Silverstein's
beloved story of a lonely boy who falls in love with a tree
is brought to life in both sign language and the spoken word
by the Tony Award winning Little Theatre of the Deaf. Made
up of both hearing and deaf artists, this unique ensemble
cast allows the audience to see and hear every word. The actors
can make a lion roar, a tree bend, and the sun rise, all in
the palm of their hands. Their unique performance style has
been described as "poetry for the eye and ear." Recommended
by the JCC for Pre-K to Grade 3. 30 tickets available with
priority given to paid up family members. 1:00 PM performance.
RSVP by 1/26 to director@yesodot.org.
