Announcing Tambourine Moon - The Stage Play

What’s better than telling stories about down-home? Seeing stories about down-home come alive on stage! Tambourine Moon, the play, features storytelling, music and magic. It’s based on the acclaimed children’s book of the same name.

The book, Tambourine Moon, (Simon & Schuster, 1999), was chosen in 2000 as a Kid’s Pick of the Lists by the American Booksellers Association, selected as one of the best books for children by the black caucus of the American Library Association, and displayed on Fox-TV’s hit, “The Bernie Mac Show.”

Tambourine Moon, the stage play, will be presented Spring, 2011 at two DC area elementary schools in June.

This production is sponsored by the generosity of the Takoma Theatre Conservancy and Northgate Kiwanis Club of Washington, DC and Maryland.
