Based on the Norwegian folk tale of the same name, East of the
Sun and West of the Moon tells the wildly adventurous tale of Karen, the
daughter of a very poor woodcutter. To help her family, Karen makes a
deal with a bear that, unknown to her, is actually a prince seeking her
love and affection. The bear cannot reveal his true identity because of
a spell cast by the Royal Troll Family. Unaware of the spell, Karen’s
curiosity gets the best of her causing a chain reaction of fantastic
events that prompts Karen to seek the assistance of the Four Winds to
undo the spell. Filled with extraordinary characters, puppets and a
thrilling story, East of the Sun and West of the Moon is sure to spark
your students’ imaginations. Recommended for grades K through 4, the
show’s running time will be approximately 60 minutes.
