ΤΗΕ CHILD AND THE TREE

«The story I will relate might seem like a fairy tale. I assure you it is not! Everything I am about to narrate took place at a time not far from our time, at a place not very far from where we are now. It all started when a young boy planted a tree in his garden...».
 
The new musical by Silver Spotlight transports children and adults alike into the world of a child and the beautiful friendship it develops with a tree. Will the tree be able to help the child and its mother who are embarking on a long and difficult journey for a better life? Is the love, developed between human and nature, strong enough to endure the hardships of war? The child and the tree is a musical about genuine love, loss and the beauty that lies in giving.
