The Present Company

New for 2011!
A play for children performed by children.

This wildly adapted rewrite of the Kenneth Grahame story tells the tale of a pacifistic, poetry-penning Anglophile of a Chinese dragon who is called to fight Saint George. With the help of a friendly pair of village children– and his mum, of course– Horace (the dragon) finds a way to face his aggressor and win the villagers over without compromising his peaceful principles. The play, performed by a troupe of eight to fourteen year old actors, is sure to delight the young at heart.

We’re proud to bring you two short comedies celebrating springtime love.

In the first play, Three On A Bench, a young couple, soaring on the wings of newfound love, encounters their first patch of relationship turbulence. But the magic of spring intervenes through the antics of a quirky stranger with a romantic mystery of her own.

In the second, A Sunny Morning, two elderly Spanish aristocrats meet by chance on a park bench and discover how the story line of their lives has been interwoven since their youth.

The evening will open with magic from The Amazing Yaja and his 6 year-old apprentice, Kai.

And during intermission guitarist/teacher Bill Wright will perform some Spanish music including “Rondenas” by the early twentieth -century gypsy guitarist, Ramon Montoya.

We look forward to seeing you there!
