Event Details
By Finegan Kruckemeyer
Directed by Ishu and Joshua Rashon Streeter
Three sisters are left in the forest by their woodcutter father. From this fairytale beginning, three resolutions are made – one sister will walk one way, one sister will walk the other and the third will stay right where she is. Twenty years later, having circumnavigated the globe, and fought vikings and crossed oceans and tamed wilds and achieved greatness the three meet again, as women.
A charming, fantastical story about the bond of sisterhood, growing up and finding your own way to happiness.
Appropriate for all ages.
