The Borrowers
By MARY NORTON, adapted for the stage by CHARLES WAY
Directed by WHIT MACLAUGHLIN On the F. Otto Haas Stage December 1, 2010 - January 30, 2011
Meet Arrietty. She’s your typical tween yearning to experience the grown-up world. Only
difference? She and her tiny family live on doll house furniture under the floorboards. When their home is discovered, they are forced into the giant universe outside and Arrietty gets a bigger adventure than she bargained for. Most enjoyed by families with children ages 5 and older.

My 5 year old daughter was engaged ... which prompted her to ask questions, care about the characters, wonder how it all works, all while hearing a positive message.” –Raising Global Kids [Read More] [Listen to this parent discuss the play with her daughter.] “To say we loved it would be an understatement! I want to go back and watch it again, I loved every second of it!!!” –DelcoPAMoms [Read More] “The acting was great and the story-line was captivating. The best part was the curiosity that followed… truly a wonderful way to introduce your child to the live arts” –PhillyParentCircle [Review] “Perfect for children just starting to experience theater! I highly recommend this show!” –GirlyMama.com [Review] |
