Binkley, an outsider dwarf from the Kingdom of Magical Land, is quiet, timid and scared of the dark — not exactly the best characteristics for working in a mine, the job to which all dwarves aspire.
But inspired by the kindness and motherly affection of Snow White, Binkley goes on a quest to find three items that will assure them a place amongst the dwarf elite. Will Binkley find the courage that resides deep inside them? Will they be paralyzed by the Wicked Witch? Will they be able to find a genuine cow?
The 8th Dwarf is a story of the power of courage, kindness and wit, and how those characteristics mean more than all the material goods in the world.
The 8th Dwarf is part of our Nightlight young audiences series, which produces original, adapted and forgotten plays geared toward children and the adults who love them. The show takes place on Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. from February 7-15.
More information is available on the show page.
Ghostlight Ensemble will bring a new twist to a classic fairy tale with its newest young audiences production opening this weekend, The 8th Dwarf, written by Chicago theatre artist Olivia Sieck.
