#WeRead – A feast of tales from the magical Story Book Theatre
Need a little magic? All you have to do is open a book.
Peoples Theatre will present another series of timeless tales from the Story Book Theatre, on stage from September 2 to 29.
Children will fall in love with their favourite bookshelf classics all over again.
They will experience the enchanted world of books, which dynamic duo Jill Girard and Keith Smith creatively bring to the stage.
The show is about books and reading.
Girard said they have always aimed to share the wonder of books and reading with children.
“We want to bring life back to all the most dearly loved stories and give children something memorable to carry with them after the curtain falls,” said Girard.
With great fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood, Tinder Box, The Princess and the Pea and Hansel and Gretel all taking centre stage.
The cast will bring this year’s Story Book Theatre classics alive through the use of engaging narration, music, movement, puppetry and exciting audience interaction.
“By involving the young audience, we can trigger their imaginations and give back to them an unforgettable and magical theatre experience,” said Smith.
The children’s musical theatre production will have toe-tapping renditions of popular hit songs, colourful set designs and fun costumes.
Story Book Theatre is aimed at children aged three to 10 years old.
The show will be at Peoples Theatre at the Joburg Theatre Complex.
Ticket prices are R140 for general public or R100 for members of the Peoples Theatre Kids Club.
Special school performances are available.
