COMING UP:
Beset by hunger, cold and loneliness, a soldier meets a strange companion in the wood. Dressed in a green coat and offering untold riches, the stranger strikes a bargain for the soldier’s very soul. He must not bathe, cut his hair or pray for seven years—and he must wear what will become his name—a Bearskin. Though its pocket can never be emptied of gold, the soldier ultimately learns that true wealth is stored in the heart. This play with music features an original script and score. Adapted for the stage by playwright Steven C. Smith with music and lyrics composed by Stephen Steinhaus and Keith Horn, BEARSKIN is the result of a year-long, international collaborative process. You won’t want to miss it! June 11, 12, 13. Tickets $6/$11
Auditions for Grimm’s Bearskin are March 15th and 16th, 2010. Click here for audition information.
