School-Time Performance: Ransom of Red Chief

November 27 – 30, 1979


Production Language English
Country of Origin United States
Description Grades 1-6. A musical adaptation of the classic O. Henry short story. This wild and wonderful work centers around a boy about the same age as the audience and the hilarious attempt by two "city slickers" to hold him for ransom. Entirely faithful to the spirit of the original work, Ransom can serve as an excellent entry point for the translation of words from the printed page to the living stage. Charming, witty, active, and engrossing -- a thrilling dream sequence and three beautiful sets make this an event to remember.
