A little girl learns how to face bullies, loneliness and hard conversations when her teacher gives her a magical book in “Big and Brave,” the Hastings College Alpha Psi Omega’s annual production for kids of all ages.
During the show, the girl, Steora, travels to the village of Quilaria, where a brave, strong knight and her favorite teddy bear help her defeat a big dragon and face her fears.
“Big and Brave,” written by Hastings College senior Morgan O’Neill of Cheyenne, Wyoming, is in Scott Studio Theater on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 8-10 at 7:30 p.m, and Sunday, December 11 at 2:00 p.m.
Students and children will be admitted free, and adult tickets are $5 each. Tickets can be reserved in advance by emailing tickets@hastings.edu.
Alpha Psi Omega (APO) is the theatre honorary, whose members select, produce and perform a show suitable for children of all ages each year as a way to raise funds for the group.
