THIS GIRL LAUGHS, THIS GIRL CRIES, THIS GIRL DOES NOTHING

Written by Finegan Kruckemeyer
Directed by Leslie Noble

A story about the bonds of family, growing up and finding your own unique ways to happiness.

Three young sisters are left in a forest by their woodcutter father and forced to find their own way in the world. From this fairytale beginning, three resolutions are made — one sister walks one way to find purpose, one the other to find adventure, and the third stays right where she is to create a home. Years later, having circumnavigated the globe and fought Vikings, crossed oceans, tamed wilds and achieved greatness, the three sisters meet again, as women.

THEATRE FOR THE VERY YOUNG
For children 18 months - 5 years

CLICK, CLACK, CREATE

Directed and Conceived by Kate Laissle

Click, Clack, Create is a Theatre for the Very Young experience where curiosity leads the way.

What happens if we try this?

Two playful performers welcome audiences into a space filled with blocks, textures, and unexpected sounds. A tap becomes a beat. A stack becomes a tower. A wobble becomes a surprise. With curiosity as their guide, they begin to wonder and invite their young audience to wonder with them.

Inspired by the ways young children naturally learn, Click, Clack, Create celebrates hands-on discovery. As performers and children stack, sort, balance, and build together, simple materials transform into music, patterns, and shared moments of connection. Every sound, every movement, every small choice matters. There is no right or wrong way, only the joy of trying.

Together, performers and audience create a living landscape of shapes, rhythms, and gentle surprises, all sparked by a single question: What happens if…?

Click, Clack, Create celebrates the poetry of first discoveries and the beauty of collective imagination, where the smallest gesture can open a world of joyful surprise.

We know that we will have these sound sculptures - images attached.

Really, the show is about imagination and the wonder of creation and discovery. In my head its about how people looking at the same thing can come up with a bunch of different ideas. I have no strong goals as to poster - something fun that gets at that wonder.
