Big Story Small

Pony World Theatre presents a collection of classic plays, distilled into powerful little packages. Nine classics will be performed in a single evening, each with a new treatment by a local writer. The collection is staged with the assistance of puppets and black light, a dancer and a musician, a tiny orchard, animation, and more. Produced in association with Theatre Off Jackson, Big Story Small performs three nights only, May 10, 11, and 12 at 8pm.

This is the second time Pony World Theatre has tackled Big Story Small, and this year's anthology includes these new adaptations:

Medea, originally by Euripides, adapted by Gavin Cummins
The Cherry Orchard, originally by Anton Chekhov, adapted by Brendan Healy
Playboy of the Western World, originally by J.M. Synge, adapted by Scott Herman
State of Siege, originally by Albert Camus, adapted by Pony World Theatre
Mother Courage, originally by Bertolt Brecht, adapted by Lucy Winfield
St. Joan, originally by George Bernard Shaw, adapted by Kelleen Conway Blanchard
Rhinoceros, originally by Eugene Ionesco, adapted by Webster Crowell
Waiting for Godot, originally by Samuel Beckett, adapted by Shawn Belyea
Ontological Proof of My Existence, originally by Joyce Carol Oates, adapted by Gabrielle Schutz

Pony World Theatre is an Associated Program of Shunpike.
