STAGES Youth Theater: Making the Child the Center of the Story
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - February 05, 2019
'It's important to make the child the center of the story,' says playwright and theatre artist Stacey Koloski, whose Letters from the Sky is being performed this week (February 1-8) as part of Portland's STAGES Youth Theater's TYA series. The play, directed by Dana Legawiec, tells the story of a young girl's relationship with a friend from outer space, and explores the issues of understanding each individual's uniqueness. 'The play focuses on how we treat people from other places, people we don't know. Often it is the child who is most able to engage in an authentic and welcoming way. So I wanted to tell the story from the child's perspective and capture the wonder with which children see the world,' explains Koloski.
