Walking the Tightrope – 24th STreet Theatre introduces its new in-house TYA company LAB24 with the West Coast premiere of British playwright Mike Kenny’s gentle, funny play. Five-year-old Esme arrives to stay with her grandparents at the end of summer, just like she does every year. But this time, something’s different: Nanna isn’t here, and Granddad doesn’t know how to tell… Show more her that Nanna isn’t coming back. This magical play, full of moments of remembered childhood, explores a child’s first experience with loss and celebrates the special bond shared by grandparents and grandchildren. The play was the first recipient of Art Council England’s Award for Playwriting for Children & Young People (Rated G – ages 4+)
