FAMILIES & FRIENDS: Please join us for a class sharing on May 15
Inspired by Kate DiCamillo’s award‑winning Orris and Timble books, this class brings the unlikely friendship of a rat and an owl to life onstage. Can a rat and an owl really stay friends when the world says they shouldn’t? What other uncommon animal friendships could exist? Young actors will use their bodies, voices, and imaginations to explore courage, compassion, and character creation as they build their own barnyard adventures. Through playful storytelling and ensemble work, students will craft an original performance to share with family and friends.
