PLAY AFTER PLAY
an interactive theater experience for families

After the performances, the children are invited to play with the performers! All the excitement of the show culminates in a rolling, laughing, giggling good time!

NEXT PLAY AFTER PLAY IN SEATTLE - MARCH 2008

What parents have been saying:
"Thank you for one of the most wonderful performances I have ever seen. (And I've seen a lot of performances!)
I've drifted off to sleep the last two nights re-playing it in my mind. I expected to have a good time,
but did not expect to be so moved and delighted and enchanted." -Mia Pisano-Yang

"I have had the fortune to see Original Play in action. It struck me immediately as being so subtle that its very power and strength can easily be dismissed. I have worked with children in so many different and supposedly "alternative" ways that after one experience I knew this was real...and that everything I thought I knew about being a human or a parent was out the window." - Charlie Slavin

Play After Play performances are scheduled the 1st,2nd, and 3rd Saturdays and Sundays from Sept through May at the Brooklyn Bay Theater in Portland. Contact Melanya@brooklynbay.org for details or visit www.brooklynbay.org and see "kids programs."
