The play
A bell that has not rung since the last hard winter. A girl who takes a job she should not have taken. A town that has forgotten how to count the days.
Our winter show is built in-house from the ground up: a live three-piece band, forty-two costumes made in the wardrobe under the stairs, and a great deal of paper snow. Made for eight-year-olds and the grandparents who bring them.
