About the team:

Producer:  Richard Durkin
Director: Leta Hall

About the Director:  
Leta Hall is delighted to be directing again for the Theater for Young Audiences. Previously, she directed "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "Red vs the Wolf" for ESP's TYA. A spinster aunt at heart, she seems to like stories with morals but she is always surprised by exactly which life lessons kids draw from her shows.

About the show:

"Stone Soup" (by Leta Hall) shows what happens when no one has enough to share with a stranger but everyone has enough to share just a little bit with each other. Take a special recipe, three ordinary rocks, an ingredient from each family's kitchen, and add a little love and Stone Soup becomes a very tasty tale!
