February 8, 2011 Three Cups of Tea
From the first heart-stopping opening moments stranded on a mountaintop, American Place Theatre’s adaptation of Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, brings us through the very intimate journey of one man’s fight against all odds to make a difference in the world. Alternating between scenes in the U.S. and Pakistan we become aware of the lessons that can be learned from a culture that is seemingly so different from our own; consequently we come to understand the need to share in the responsibility of educating children everywhere. This Literature to Life production is adapted and directed by Wynn Handman, performed by Curtis Nielsen, and surrounded by a pre an post interactive discussion led by a Master teaching artist who will explore themes including social interaction, intercultural understanding and perseverance. Based on the true story of mountaineer Greg Mortenson's inspired mission to build schools for young girls in Pakistan. 90 minutes. For grades 7-9.

Based on his beloved Caldecott Honor–winning picture book, six-time Emmy Award winner Mo Willems joins Grammy Award–winning composer Michael Silversher to lovingly celebrate the heart and heartache that can only come from a family visit to the local Laundromat. A Kennedy Center production. Mo Willems will be available to answer questions. One hour. For grades pre-k to 2.
