Wild Swan Theater presents MARKETPLACE STORIES - Folktales from the Arab World Opens 4/4
Wild Swan Theater concludes its 37th season of high quality professional theater for Michigan's families with Marketplace Stories-Folktales from the Arab World. This wonderful collection of tales is set in a 19th century village marketplace that seems to spring to life straight out of the folk art paintings of renowned Lebanese American artist Helen Zughaib. Abu Ali, a wandering storyteller, arrives in the marketplace with his special story box, his sanduk, on his back. As the company of performers gather around him and his brightly painted box of stories, the tales seem to spin out of the box, onto the stage and even out into the audience.
