A squirt gun would never be mistaken for a real gun, right? Dive into the thought-provoking world of Water. Gun. Argument and challenge what we choose to believe. A thought provoking and powerful piece in a docu-theatre style.

Strawberries in Winter

Strawberries in Winter

adapted by Mrs. Evelyn Merritt from Aleksander Chodzko

Morozko has a Slavic winter tale for you. Who is Morozko, you ask? You may know him by his other name: Jack Frost.

Poor Marouckla is tormented by her mean stepmother and her horse-faced stepsister. They're determined to make Marouckla's life miserable. They send Marouckla up the mountain for fresh strawberries. But everyone knows strawberries don't grow in winter.

Based on The Twelve Months, a folktale by Aleksander Chodzko.

I really liked the script and my kids were really excited to perform it. They really enjoyed the story within the story and the creative aspects. As we worked on the show, more ideas came to light about how to present the show. It was a big success and the audience enjoyed it.
