Well, I got this from an Easy Street alumnae and thought I would pass it on to the blogging public. Yeah, Tom!
Playing through December 16th, Halcyon Theatre Presents:
Salman Rushdie’s Haroun and the Sea of Stories
Adapted for the Stage by Tim Supple and David Tushingham
Directed by Jennifer Adams
When young Haroun’s mother elopes with a dull clerical drone, his father, famed storyteller Rashid, the Shah of Blah, loses the gift of gab. To restore his father’s gift and mend his broken heart, Haroun embarks on a mystical journey to the source of stories. There, the Master of Silence launches his plan to destroy the world’s stories, and it is up to Haroun to stop the destruction. This adventure into strange new lands — a dream world of water genies and rhyming guppies, where chatter and silence battle for control — excites the imagination in this riveting celebration of storytelling.
Featuring: Chris Amos, Jackson Challinor, Adam Dodds*, Adam Downs, Minita Gandhi, Michael Graham, Greg Hardin, Christine Lin, Tom McGrath, Carly Mendez, Fawzia Mirza, Lauren Mustain, Tinuade Oyelowo, Leticia Ramirez, Denise Santomauro*
