SUMMARY:Twinkle\, Twinkle\, Little Star (Theatre for the Very Young)
DESCRIPTION:Twinkle\, Twinkle\, Little Star is an interactive children’s theatre piece for very young audiences\, performed by two Star Keepers named Glimmer and Sparkle. \nIt’s time for the night sky to fill with stars\, but one important star — Little Star\, the wishing star — is missing because Sparkle rushed through putting the stars away the previous morning and muddled everything up. \nWhat follows is a search-and-rescue adventure as the two star keepers (and the audience) hunt for Little Star\, discovering along the way that all the other stars have been put in the wrong places too and need to be moved to their proper place.  Audience members help the Star Keepers find and re-organize the sky just in time for nightfall so that everyone can make a wish on their favorite star. \nTwinkle\, Twinkle explores the ideas that mistakes happen\, feelings are valid\, and no one has to face hard things alone – all wrapped up in a genuinely joyful romp about stars. \n  \nBy Ernie Nolan \nProduced by special arrangement with Plays for New Audiences \nDialogue complexity: conversations are short but use more vocabulary than some other shows; performers also use physical actions\, props\, music\, and songs to tell the story. \nWhat is Theatre for the Very Young? \nTheatre for the Very Young (TVY) is theatre designed for ages zero through five to support their cognitive development. The purpose of TVY is to support our youngest audience members in engaging with creative play\, introducing them to narrative storytelling\, and exploring social and emotional learning in a fun and approachable way. TVY is designed to be sensory friendly and an open space for movement\, vocalization\, and exploration! \nPre-show activities! \nAudiences are invited to arrive 30 minutes prior to each showtime (when the “house” opens) to participate in a free pre-show activity\, coordinated by RLT’s education department.
