The Frog King - Interactive Theatre - for Children from Age 3

A princess loses her golden ball. A frog demands a promise in return for retrieving it. She must learn to keep her word and overcome her fear - and in the end, she manages to transform the revolting frog into a prince.

Storytelling theatre is a special form of performance in which an experienced actress narrates a fairy tale while slipping into all the different characters and roles. Children get an up-close look at the craft of acting - watching the performer switch roles right before their eyes on stage.

In this participatory format, children don't just listen to the story - they actively join in. They can call out their thoughts and ideas to the actress on stage, who weaves these impulses spontaneously into the narrative. At many points, children can even come up on stage and play a part themselves, creating a lively, interactive performance between the storyteller and her young audience.
