Adapted by John Jory From the book by Gertrude Chandler Warner
Run Time: Approximately 60 minutes
Led by an ever-observant Stage Manager, the audience will discover the touching world of The Boxcar Children, the beloved children's book created by teacher Gertrude Chandler Warner. This classic story tells the tale of four orphans, Henry, Jess, Violet and Benny as they hide from their "cruel" grandfather and discover their independence while living in an abandoned and overgrown Boxcar. Set in the 1920s, you will see their resilience, intuitiveness and love of these siblings as they navigate learning, work and creating a safe community. With the help of many along the way, will the children create a new home or be caught by their mystery guardian-to-be? This is a meta-theatrical adaptation drawing inspiration from the seminal play Our Town and is sure to tug on every audience members' heartstrings.
Expressions Festival is presented by RBC.
