Look Here Little Girls, Moreno Valley Players Tell Tales

Added: 02/25/2006

The story about the elves and the shoemaker has been heard by many little girls. Moreno Valley girls and boys now have a chance to see a play based on that story. The audiences at the Landis Performing Arts Center during February of 2006 will have the privilege of seeing that performance. A woman who aspires to write for children sees much potential in any such performance.

They could be lucky little girls. Moreno Valley is home to those potentially lucky little girls. Moreno Valley houses the Moreno Campus of Riverside Community College (RCC). Little sisters of the students at the Community College could be in for a treat.  They could get a chance to visit the RCC campus. They could be invited to accompany an older sibling, a student at RCC, to a performance at the Landis performing Arts Center, one of the buildings on the RCC campus.

During February of 2006 a local theatrical group plans to treat the audience at that Center to a play that should appeal to all little girls. Moreno Valley theater goers are now buying tickets for those performances. The play that they will be seeing is titled "The Elves and the Shoemaker." It is a theatrical adaptation of the well-known children's story.

Just imagine what delights could be in store for some lucky little girls. Moreno Valley parents should expect to listen to a lengthy recounting of the story about the elves and the shoemaker. Included in that story could be some interesting information about how the age-old tale was presented.

No doubt the presentation of that tale could produce some amazed faces on more than one of the viewing little girls. Moreno Valley theatrical groups would know how to create suspense. They would know how to add suspense to the scene where the shoemaker and his wife go to sleep, and then the elves appear. They would know how to design the lighting so that the dark stage held a mystery.

That play about the elves and the shoemaker should please children of either sex. Moreno Valley parents should feel that their children have had a worthwhile experience, if they have been taken to that play. The memory of seeing that play on the RCC campus might encourage a child to attend RCC.

The Community College represents only one of the local schools available to young adults of either sex. Moreno Valley also contains the Elegante Beauty College, the Mercury Real Estate Schools and the Moreno Valley Technical Skills Center. Any of those schools could some day teach a young woman who is now just one of the local, little girls. Moreno Valley counselors are well aware of that fact.

Moreno Valley counselors would be pleased to see lots of Moreno Valley children attending the performance of "The Elves and the Shoemaker." They would realize that an interest in theater could lead to an interest in theatrical make-up, and that could lead to a desire to attend Elegante Beauty School. By the same token an interest in theater could lead to an interest in the making of theatrical props. An interest in the making of theatrical props could one day motivate a young adult to attend Moreno Valley Technical Skills Center. 

Moreno Valley counselors would no doubt encourage their older students to set aside time for taking a younger sibling to the play at the Landis Performing Arts Center. Exposure to theater could provide future young adults with more motivation than any amount of advice from a counselor.
