Director's Notes...

Something is lost between childhood and adulthood. In our world of computers, PDA, emails and cell phones we often forget the magic of the imagination and the lessons that can be and should be learned from the younger generation.

I have had the honor to work with three very brave and talented young ladies and have watched them breathe life and form into an otherwise abstract work that craves a child's imagination and ingenuity to bring the tall tale characters to life.

These stories are more than just tall tales and costumes. These stories speak of lessons. Sharing, loving, caring and growing through the good and the bad decisions all seen and translated through a child's eye and imagination.

The power of this program is that it has a lesson for all, from age eight to ninety-eight, the program offers laughter, lessons and imagination. I thank you all for coming out and supporting our program. Next stop...the young ladies and I go on the road to local schools and The Children's Museum.

A very special thanks to Patio Playhouse, Chris Hall and Brenda Townsend that have made this project a reality. In the future, watch for more children's programs that include school assembly performances. In the vision of this dedicated team they have created the ground work for future projects designed to go into the schools and offer a viable and economical assembly program available to all local schools.
