"Tomás and the Library Lady" - Previews and Reviews

We are very pleased with the response we've gotten from our production of Tomás and the Library Lady. It really is a lovely, simple and sweet story, and one which is proving to resonate with all kinds of people.

The great press response started out with a preview piece by Doree Armstrong in the Seattle P-I: Despite the stern librarian, 'Tomás' isn't quiet about a love for reading." Positive reviews were soon to follow:

"This charming show for children gives that honorable message a sweet Mexican taste." - Gianni Truzzi, Seattle P-I (scroll down to find review)

"This play takes on more than is typical for a children’s drama: It not only makes the little ones (and their adult companions) giggle, but also prompts them to think." - Jenna Nand, The Seattle Weekly

"Simple yet effective, the production features a dynamic two-person cast playing multiple roles, lots of ethnic touches and fine visuals and videos that augment the story." - Alice Kalso, Everett Herald

We've also been asking families that attend to share their thoughts with us, so check back in later this week for feedback from our patrons. And if you've seen the show but didn't receive an email asking for feedback, please drop us a note in the comments section.

Tomás and the Library Lady runs in SCT's Eve Alvord Theatre through March 1, 2009.

(Oh, and did we mention that our world premiere adventure story Pharaoh Serket and the Lost Stone of Fire opens Friday, January 30th? Don't miss it!)
