Performances are at 1 p.m. Feb. 12 to 16 for children in the Douglas County and Lawrence schools. Shaw is working with an ensemble of eight actors to present the children's tales.
Actors transform quickly from storytellers to animals and humans and even inanimate objects.
Then the Stage Manager will come out to start the show and the theatrical adventure will begin. Using the storytelling method, actors talk directly to the audience, closely interacting as they act out the stories. Shaw is artist in residence and technical director at the Coterie Theatre in Crown Center, Kansas City, Mo. Shaw's residency at KU is partially funded by the Julie Stough Lecture Series through the Department of Theatre and Film. VISA and MasterCard are accepted for telephone orders. This site is maintained by University Relations, the public relations office for the University of Kansas Lawrence campus.
