Greek Children's Theater Company to Perform in Kids Euro Festival


This year, as part of the Kids Euro Festival in Washington, D.C., the Greek children's theater company "Aeroplio" will stage three performances geared toward young theater patrons (ages 6-10).

"Through the centuries-old tradition of Greek storytelling, a fantastic and heroic universe comes to life. Meet clever magicians, crafty fairies, fierce yet funny dragons — and help decide how the story will unfold. Videos, masks, puppets — and even umbrellas and brooms! — become out-of-this-world characters in a tale like no other!"

The performance dates are:
Saturday, October 15 at 6:00pm at the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage:
