It's Christmas Eve and Lena, 14, is trying to buy a gift for her new guardian, Aunt Carmen. But what is she supposed to get for a woman she barely knows, in a town she just moved to? As all of the stores begin to close, Lena sees one last shopwindow still glowing. When she steps through the door of Manny’s Book & Paper store, Lena takes us on magical journey of storytelling and self-discovery. NORTHERN LIGHTS is a new winter holiday play celebrating the power of art, kindness, friendship, and imagination to warm the heart and light the way home.
NORTHERN LIGHTS is Inspired by the wintry fairy tales created over a century ago by master storyteller Hans Christian Andersen ("Snow Queen," "Little Mermaid") and appeals to audiences of all ages. Created by Mona Z. Smith and Traci Mariano during the Covid-19 pandemic, this play does touch on loss and grief that have been experienced by children around the world, but our play ends in hope, strength, resilience, and grace.
NORTHERN LIGHTS can also be performed LIVE as a contemporary radio play with sound effects created right on stage, in front of the audience. Contact the authors or agent Susan Schulman (T: 212-713-1633 / E: [email protected]) for a radio-play script with sound cues and tips for creating sound effects!
