ARMENIAN FOLKTALES FOR STAGE & SCREEN

Please enjoy our adaptations from these ancient stories, inspired by Charles Downing's "Armenian Folktales & Fables" as well as stories lovingly given to us by Armenian friends and family. The plays in this book are adaptations from young people aged 10-14. You will find humor, compassion, lessons, and colorful plot lines! The Hopi Native Americans have a saying that "those who tell the stories, rule the world" and I hope that in telling these stories, we pay homage to the Armenian people who sacrificed everything to protect their culture, children and future generations. We celebrate the stories passed on that now can come to life in celebration of the light of Armenia. We hope you enjoy our adaptations of these beloved stories. Through our humor and creative expression we aim to celebrate these beloved stories and the people who passed them down each generation. Peace, love, and healing to Armenia.
