TENTH ANNUAL FREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TOUR: BALLET FOR ALIENS by Gerard Hernandez, Jenny Kokai, and Oliver Kokai-Means
September 2022-May 2023
Jacob loves ballet, turkey sandwiches, Pokedudes, and his orange blanket. He does not love living with Crohn's disease or nurses who can't get the IV in on the first try. On the day of his latest infusion, he meets Sophie, a nurse unlike any other (who might be an alien). A play for grades 4-6 about living with a chronic illness and how imagination can help get you through.
Created specifically for grades 4-6 and inspired by Gerard’s experience as a child living with Crohn’s disease.
Free public performances at the Chapman Branch (Saturday, September 10, 2022 at 1pm) and Marmalade Branch (Saturday, September 17, 2022 at 3pm) of the Salt Lake City Public Library as well as the Collide Arts Festival (May 20, 2023 at 4pm) at Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts and one other in Ogden TBA.
