SUMMER PRODUCTION
Still Life with
Iris
Written by Steven Dietz
Directed by Octavia Fleck
Join Lexington Children’s Theatre as
they journey to a place called Great Island, a remote and
magnificent island. On Great Island you can find the best of
everything, however only ONE of the best of anything! The rulers
of Great Island are the Great Goods: Gretta and Grotto. They are
also the rulers of the fantastical land of Nocturno where each
night as we lay sleeping, Nocturnos’ inhabitants ready the world
for the new day creating the flowers, fog, lightening bolts,
thunder, rain, ladybugs and much more. When Gretta and Grotto
decide they must have the perfect little girl for their island
they put into motion a series of events that forces one little
girl, named Iris, to question everything in her life. Will Iris
find her way back to her home and mom and dad? Will she discover
the meaning behind the “button” and the reoccurring memory that
appears whenever she touches the button? Will Nocturno be able
continue the sunrise and lassoing the moon each day? Find out
these answers and more during the summer production of “Still Life
with Iris”.

Oh I wish I could be more
revolting, said Tommy & Billy & Sue,
I wish I could conjure up monsters,
but I’m really not sure what to do,
For they didn’t know the answer,
that I’m willing to pass on to you,
Elliott’s summer week of rhyming, &
creatures & nasties & goo!
Roald Dahl is full of creativity!
Using music, art and movement your child will develop their
imagination during this week long experience. We will devise our
own disgusting rhymes by the end of the week to show to all
friends and family!
A Few Important Bits &
Pieces
-
Lunch is provided daily for students
in sessions that stay all day. (Monday through Friday for
Charlie and BFG classes, and Fridays for Revolting
Rhymes students.)
-
On Friday (each week) all students
(4-7's and 8 and ups) stay through the entire morning and
afternoon. This allows us to have a dress rehearsal with all ages
as we prepare our sharing for family and friends on Friday
evening at 5:30 PM.
-
A pizza party will be provided for all
students just prior to the sharing on Friday.
-
We encourage families and friends to
attend the 5:30 PM Friday sharings! Come see what your children
have accomplished in a week!
