The always engaging Pushcart Players return with Stone Soup and Other Stories. This charming, well-seasoned blend of carefully selected stories will delight audiences of all ages. The stories that will be brought to life include; Freddie Lee Fisher, a story passed down from the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia; The Great Being, a folk tale favorite from India; The Long One, an African folktale; and of course, Stone Soup, a classic story with Eastern European roots.
Each tale is filled with music, color, fantasy and fun while playfully introducing the spirit and customs of different cultures.
Pushcart Players’ mission is to provide professionally produced theatre, workshops and residencies for K-12 students to foster in-depth understanding, discovery, participation and life-long love and support of the arts.
