ABOUT THE SHOW

Grades 1-5

Empower young voices in this exciting new production featuring two inspiring stories! In the first tale, The Boy Who Could Sing Pictures, Luca, the son of Bustelo-the-jester, discovers an extraordinary gift: when he sings, magical pictures appear in the sky, revealing the truth about the world around him. As Luca embarks on a summer-long journey filled with surprises, he faces challenges and a royal performance where the evil ministers try to stop him. But Luca learns to trust his voice, save the day, and even the kingdom!

In the second story, Nina Nails It, based on a beloved Persian tale, a clever young girl shows a wizard where his true heart really lies. 

Featuring beautiful musical accompaniment by Daniel Kelly, this performance blends rich storytelling with captivating melodies to inspire young audiences to use their voices!
