For the 2017 SRP “Build a Better World”

Act!vated Story Theatre presents

Hammer, Nail, Tell a Tale Two of the following stories in every 45 minute show.

The Three Little Pigs Our version of the quaint little story everyone knows, about how three porcine siblings learn, through some rather risky trial and error, to build their houses out of the strongest possible materials to keep the wolf from the door. Old Joe and the Carpenter A humorous Appalachian legend about how a traveling carpenter teaches two feuding mountaineers that good fences don’t really make the best neighbors. Anansi and the Story Box The famous West African arachnid trickster returns, in a story about how he goes on a quest assigned by the great sky god Nyame in order to earn the right to bring a box of stories down to earth, building a legacy to inspire future generations. The Shadow Builders A legend from Turkey about, two joke-telling construction workers who inspired the popular shadow puppet characters named after them.

Every show is presented by professional performers and features witty scripts, costumes, imaginative props, music, song and dance, masks and puppets, nonstop action, American Sign Language, physical comedy and audience participation. All set before a gigantic oversized book that encourages reading and promotes a love of literature. Plus, kids from your audience can play feature roles in the show.
