SF Kids Spotlight: March ’09

Author Shel Silverstein is the best gift you could possibly ever give a kid, and you can do just that with Boxcar Theatre’s production of The Giving Tree (March 7-15). Written by Sarah Savage, this adaptation is about a tree’s unconditional love for a boy. Also for the younger set, Children’s Musical Theatre San Jose is one of the first companies to stage Rent: School Edition (Montgomery Theatre, March 6-15). Based on the blockbuster Broadway hit, the show still deals with the original show’s serious themes, with the aim to create a place where these issues can be taught, and help increase tolerance and understanding about homosexuality and AIDS.
