Mayo Street Arts (MSA) will present Sandglass Theater in residency both in our venue and at East End Community School (EECS), which serves a diverse body of students in grades PK-5, including low-income families living in our East Bayside neighborhood.
“Oma” by Sandglass Theater will be performed at the school on Friday, May 10 followed by workshops with the individual first-grade classrooms.
Saturday, the Sandglass duo brings the magic to Mayo Street Arts with a free family-friendly workshop followed by a public performance of “Oma,” on Saturday, May 11 at 2:00 PM.
This new family puppet show is an intergenerational tale that revolves around Grandma or “Oma." It is her birthday and all are preparing for the celebration. While the grown-ups are busy, the children get into mischief. Finally, they all gather around for one of Oma's stories told in yarn. One character emerges from the tangle of wool and nearly ruins the party. But not to worry, all ends well at Oma's house.
