The Chicago Park District and the Chicago International Puppet Theater Festivalis pleased to share The Selfish Giant, a musicalspectacle for children and giants of all ages created and performed by – master puppeteer Blair Thomas and Chicago folk musician legend Michael Smith and based on Oscar Wilde’s classic story about a grumpy giant who forbids children from playing in his garden. After the children are locked out, the trees and flowers refuse to grow and the garden plunges into an eternal winter. Then one morning, the children sneak back into the garden, bringing with them the joyous rebirth of spring. Featuring original puppets and live music, The Selfish Giant is enormously imaginative, gigantically whimsical, and is sure to thrill young children andgiants of all ages.
