The CoLab, a budding fringe theatre company in the Greater Boston Area, is devoted not only to producing new theatre, but building new audiences, starting at the local level. This season, we thought about what that really means and we decided we would start 2012 by appealing to perhaps our most important audience, its children. The future of The Arts in America and in Boston lies with our youngest viewers, who will become the audiences of tomorrow. While we think BIG theatre is great, many people believe that they have to spend lots of money on a big budget musical on Broadway every time they want to experience the theatre. By bringing Don't Eat The Apples to Somerville, we're hoping to show both parents and children that theatre can be enjoyable, affordable, and in their own backyard.
Playwright Erika Geller spent most of her summer nannying in Somerville where she attended many sing-a-longs and story hours, but no plays. By talking with other nannies, moms, and dads, she realized how many families were looking to expose their children to the arts, and how few affordable opportunities there were to do it. When it came to a venue for the show, the Somerville area was the first to come to her mind as it already has such a huge arts community for adults - why shouldn't there more opportunity for its smallest citizens to experience the theatre? As the cold weather hits, Don't Eat The Apples provides the perfect opportunity to make a happy memory with your family at the theatre, without leaving the neighborhood or breaking the bank!
The cast also features three Somerville Resident Actors: Alyce Householter, Bob Mussett and Tim Hoover
