SkyView Academy presents

SVA Theater presents the Middle School One Act Plays, This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing and Game of Tiaras:  This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing: Three young sisters are left in a forest by their woodcutter father and forced to find their own way in the world. From this fairytale beginning, three resolutions are made — one sister walks one way to find purpose, one the other to find adventure, and the third stays right where she is to create a home. Years later, having circumnavigated the globe, fought vikings, crossed oceans, tamed wilds, and achieved greatness, the three sisters meet again, as women.

Game of Tiaras: When the aging king of a Magical Kingdom decides to split his empire between his three daughters, Cinderella, Belle, and the Snow Queen (who in no way resembles a copyrighted character), terrible, hilarious tragedy ensues. Combining the plot twists of Game of Thrones and the despair of a Shakespearean tragedy, this adaptation of King Lear will leave you dying with laughter as the body count mounts. When you play the Game of Tiaras, you win or you die.  

November 11th, 12th, and 13th at 7pm. In person and livestream tickets available November 1st at www.showtix4u.com. Live stream tickets here.
