Explore the magic a library holds
A superb professional cast as well as child actors make the story come alive.
AN affectionate story based on the award-winning book by Michelle Knudsen, adapted for theatre by Eli Bijaoui, ‘Library Lion’ will be transformed from a place with lights and seats to the truly wonderful place of a library with books and strict rules.’Library Lion’ is a story of friendship and acceptance. The play is about a library, where, just like in all libraries, the rules are clear: “No shouting”. “No running”. “No food or drink allowed”.
Children learn that rules are to be followed, but sometimes it’s permissible to go against them if it’s an emergency. The message is presented in a non-frightening manner that will warm children’s hearts. This play is appealing to all children in both preschool and primary.
A superb professional cast as well as child actors make the story come alive.
The creative team includes musical director Drew Rienstra/Rowan Bakker; choreography by Nicol Sheraton; set design by Stan Knight; lighting by Jane Gosnell and costumes from the creative talent that is Sarah Roberts.
