Description
Guess what? It’s The Old Man’s birthday! Students are invited to celebrate as they play the role of engaged audience members during this special, one-man production. The Old Man lives a quiet, solitary life. That is, until a mischievous red balloon blows through his window looking for a friend. The wonder and magic of play take centerstage in this charming show packed with hilarious antics and delightful surprises. During the performance, students will view the contributions of many different theater artists, from the director to the set designer, that combined create a live theatrical performance. Great for short attention spans and the wee ones, this uplifting and interactive experience shows how, with a little imagination, companionship is everywhere.

Students Will
  • Experience a live theatrical production and observe the contributions of professional theater artists including actors, set and costume designers, director, stage manager, and the crew.
  • Participate as a member of the audience throughout the performance. Students will have ample opportunity to identify, apply, and evaluate appropriate audience behavior while in DCT’s Studio Theater.
  • Enjoy and explore an uplifting and wonder-filled performance that addresses the following themes: friendship, creativity, imagination, and kindness.
