Tomás loves stories and knows all his Papa Grande’s by heart. As the young son of a migrant farm workers, Tomás has a chance encounter with librarian in Iowa who introduces him to the wonderful world of books. His imagination takes off as he reads book after book and discovers worlds filled with dinosaurs, tigers and explorers. Based on the beloved book, this inspiring true story celebrates reading, imagination and creativity. Both English and Spanish speakers can readily understand this bilingual play.

True crime in the Hundred Acre Wood? Yes, please! Join the fun as Alice, the best detective in Wonderland, hunts for clues in a crime caper mystery featuring some of childhood’s favorite characters. When Winnie the Pooh hires Alice to solve the case of Christopher Robin's kidnapping, she arrives in the Hundred Acre Wood to find a very anxious Piglet, a terribly unfocused Tigger and a very Eeoyre-y Eeoyre. Will Alice find the culprit? Will she be able to bring Christopher Robin home? This literary mashup will have audiences laughing as they follow clues and help Alice crack the case!
Each show runs approximately 45 to 60 minutes and includes a post-show discussion with behind-the-scenes details on the creation of the play and grade-appropriate conversation of the themes. We provide resources to help prepare your students for the show,
including copies of the play script. All touring plays address grade-level appropriate, state academic standards in English, language arts, fine arts, health and wellness, and arts and humanities.
You can reach out to our Education and Engagement Coordinator, Ariana Hooberman-Piñeiro at Ariana.Hooberman.Pineiro@cincyplay.com with any questions about purchasing.
Through generous grants, we are able to offer these productions for $500. We have a limited number of subsidies for Title 1 schools.
All tours are available in the morning or afternoon, Tuesday through Friday. Each show runs approximately 45 to 60 minutes and is followed by a Q&A session with the cast, if time allows.
Our touring productions can perform in almost any large space, from auditoriums and gymnasiums to cafeterias. We require a minimum space of 20 feet wide by 20 feet deep to set up our production (including backstage space) and minimum ceiling height of
9 feet. Please allow one hour of set-up time and one hour of breakdown time in the space.
Because of the informal nature of most school performance spaces and the intimacy of live theatre, we prefer to have audiences no greater than 350 students. A second performance will be required if desire attendees exceed 350 students. If the audience size is greater than can fit into two performances, we can potentially accommodate three performances at one school in a day in some circumstances. Please contact Education and Engagement Coordinator, Ariana Hooberman-Piñeiro at Ariana.Hooberman.Pineiro@cincyplay.com for more information.
