Central Texas’ most well-known children’s theatre company, Pollyanna Theatre, a resident company of the Long Center for the Performing Arts, is kicking off its 2017-2018 season with A Moon of My Own dramatized by Andrew Perry and based on the book written by local author Jennifer Rustgi and illustrator Ashley White. This new play, best suited for children ages 4 – 8, runs September 29 – October 8, 2017 at the Rollins Studio Theatre at the Long Center for the Performing Arts, 701 West Riverside, Austin, TX 78704.
A Moon of My Own tells the story of a girl who takes nighttime adventures with her faithful companion the moon. Told through movement and heartfelt humor, this new play invites audiences to journey along with Avanjali as she explores fantastic places around the world, from the Great Barrier Reef to the Amazon Rainforest. Using the imaginative book, playwright Andrew Perry has created a playful story about geography, science, and the people all over the globe who share the same Moon.
When asked what she wishes readers and audience members will take away from this story, Jennifer Rustgi says, “I hope it conveys a sense of ‘oneness’ and cultivates a sense of wonder. No matter where we are on Earth, we are all under the same Moon. That's a pretty steep concept for children to get, but I believe there's great value in helping kids understand that we are part of a much bigger world full of different cultures. And there is so much to appreciate in our beautiful world! I think we’re all happier when we allow ourselves (and our children) to slow down and see it.”
