Adventure Theatre MTC is excited to announce our first in-person production since the pandemic! Fairy Tales in the Sun will feature The Flood in the Future by Lyra Yang and From Cinders to Ella by Michelle Lynch.
Adventure Theatre-MTC is the longest-running children's theatre in the Washington D.C. area. Located in Glen Echo Park in Glen Echo, Maryland, it has been performing for children since 1951 and educating children in creative drama since 1978. Adventure Theatre will preview its upcoming summer show, Fairy Tales in the Sun, during its weekly digital production webcast. Artistic Director Chil Kong will present clips from rehearsals as well as background on the plays’ development and the interaction with the playwrights. Fairy Tales in the Sun features two short, in-person plays: The Flood in the Future and From Cinders to Ella.
For its first live, in-person family theatre production in more than 15 months, Adventure is premiering these two new works outdoors at Glen Echo Park. Kong and his Adventure team has worked with playwrights Lyra Yang (Flood) and Michelle Lynch (Ella) to develop the plays during COVID-19—originally created for digital distribution but now presented live on-stage. These fresh takes on fairy and folk tales bring new and diverse readings to these timeless stories. Fairy Tales in the Sun will open the weekend of July 10th.
