WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Set in the Revolutionary War America, two lost soldiers stumble upon the "perfect" village while searching for food and shelter. Unfortunately, the villagers are not so willing to share with these weary men until the soldiers begin to make their favorite meal - Stone Soup.

This classic fable, told with mirth and music, makes us realize that anything is possible if we all work together. To further the message of community, the audience is asked to bring canned goods to place in our soup pot which will be given to local soup kitchens. Recommended for ages 3 to 103!

In addition to the one hour musical, the audience receives a special treat - interactive arts workshops prior to the performance. Here the audience learns about the original book and how we turned it into a musical. We discuss the themes of the show and how the arts bring literature to life. Then the kids and their families make a special art project and take it home as a souvenir. Now when they watch the show, they are familiar with the art forms and themes represented in the production.

What are other members saying?

Daddy, can we make stone soup too?
"Daddy, can we make stone soup too?" I overheard a boy ask his father this after last Saturdays performance of Stone Soup. His sweet question captures the charisma of this cheerful musical. Watching the actors collaborate to make the best soup ever makes us all want to join in -- helping each other, taking a chance, not being afraid to try something new. Its a fun, encouraging entertainment for kids and grownups!

RE:good family show
I catch Literally Alive shows at the Players Theater whenever I hear about a new show. My son is almost 5yrs and he is trasfixed by the live show, and the theater is so intimate all seats feel like front row. The length of the show is just long enough to hold young attention spans, and there is always plenty of music. I recommend to all families who are looking for something different and live, not too commercial or flashy. Stone Soup, and other shows by Literally Alive, is a great alternative to video games and TV!
