From Children's Theatre Company
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Named one of "Seven Artists You Must See" by American Theatre, Sonja Parks brilliantly embodies over a dozen distinct and diverse characters in this enthralling solo production.
Meet the fascinating folk of Gibb Street. From Ana, a crotchety old Romanian woman, to Gonzalo, a feisty Latino teenager, a fractured immigrant neighborhood comes together when spirited, young Kim plants some precious beans in a nearby vacant lot. Based on the book by Newbery Medal-winning author Paul Fleischman, SEEDFOLKS was selected to represent the United States at the International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People's World Congress in 2017.
