Stone Soup...& Other Stories
Saturday, March 21 | 11am
Menchey Music Family Series
The Appell Center for the Performing Arts is serving up a delightful theatrical treat for families this season with Stone Soup … and Other Stories, a lively, literature-inspired performance that brings beloved folktales from around the globe to vibrant life on stage.
Based on the book by Ruth Fost and Carole Wechter, Stone Soup … and Other Stories is a charming, well-seasoned blend of multicultural tales that encourages reading, sparks imagination, and celebrates the rich traditions that connect us all. This engaging production is the perfect springboard for reading-related activities and exploring themes of kindness, cooperation, and community.
Presented by the acclaimed Pushcart Players, the show is dynamic, participatory, and filled with zesty entertainment designed especially for young audiences. Through the magic of storytelling, music, color, fantasy, and fun, each tale gently raises important values while introducing the spirit and customs of different cultures. Rooted in the belief that the arts are essential to education, Pushcart Players proudly joins the literacy movement by transforming classic folktales into unforgettable live experiences.
With two Emmy© nominations and numerous state and private awards for excellence and innovation, Pushcart Players has traveled more than 2 million miles nationally and abroad — from the little red schoolhouse to the White House — inspiring generations of young theatergoers along the way.
Families are encouraged to arrive early and enjoy the Discovery Party in the Strand Lobby, beginning at 10:00 a.m. This free pre-show celebration for all ticketholders features hands-on activities, music, crafts, and more — the perfect way to kick off a magical morning at the theater.
Tickets are just $15…get yours today!
If you’re looking for a “not-to-be-missed” cultural experience for young viewers, Stone Soup … and Other Stories promises to be a heartwarming and enriching event the whole family will savor.
