Atlantic for Kids: This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing
By FINEGAN KRUCKEMEYER
Directed by ALISON BEATTY & TOM COSTELLO
Original Music by NATE WEIDA
Linda Gross Theater
February 10 – March 11, 2018
A moving and irresistibly charming modern-day fairytale for the whole family, recommended for ages 6 and up.
More Info
Three young sisters are left in a forest by their woodcutter father and forced to find their own way in the world. From this fairytale beginning, three resolutions are made — one sister walks one way to find purpose, one the other to find adventure, and the third stays right where she is to create a home. Years later, having circumnavigated the globe and fought vikings, crossed oceans, tamed wilds, and achieved greatness, the three sisters meet again, as women.
