THE ISLAND OF ANYPLACE

by Charles Marz
directed & choreographed by Thomas Derrah

"Any kid would be delighted to travel to The Island of Anyplace.”
—Boston Globe

Jennifer's father has dragged her to the theatre when she'd much rather be at home or at a movie. But when she runs up on stage and starts to make up her own play, her father becomes a magician and helps her bring it to life on the stage! Jennifer's story is full of interesting people, creatures and adventures. It all starts when a poor shipwrecked boy washes up onto the shore of a beautiful but lonely island – how will he find his parents and get home?

Along the way, The Island of Anyplace introduces all of the aspects of theatre, including acting, directing, sets, lighting, costumes, makeup, sound effects and much more. Since 1990, actors from the Institute for Advanced Theatre Training have been performing this annual production for children.
