About the Production

Read about this production of Mamá Goose.

Mamá Goose Director's Note

Play is universal. Every culture and community passes down joy through stories, games, and tradition. What we came to realize when researching for Mamá Goose was that communities we hold to be completely separate from each other have a way of finding similar inspiration. And that notion inspired the choice of workshopping this trilingual production and a hope to tour the production next year. We encourage you to join us in the joy of moving this piece along the path to teaching and including a whole new generation of children. All with a story of community that goes beyond what we currently narrowly hold the definition of that to be.
