Photo Flash: Lifeline Theatre Co Presents THE BLUE SHADOW
Lifeline Theatre KidSeries presents the world premiere musical based on global folktales, "The Blue Shadow," written by Nambi E. Kelley, music and lyrics by Joe Plummer, and directed by Ilesa Duncan. A Native American girl named Shadow feels blue because she knows nothing of her heritage. When she brings her neighbors together to share their friendship and storytelling traditions, Shadow learns to embrace who she is, and to celebrate the beauty of all cultures. Explore a whole world of mythology - including African, Chinese, Mayan and Russian traditions - in this new musical filled with folklore, laughter and dancing. The production, appropriate for children ages 5-10 (and their families), runs about one hour with no intermission.
Kelley's original book, "The Blue Shadow," with illustrations by Kirk Anderson, will be available at Lifeline only.
