The PlayGround Theatre’s version of The Steadfast Tin Soldier combines characters from several fairy tales written by Hans Christian Andersen.
Our production gives audiences a peek into the playroom after the children have gone to bed.  A greedy piggy bank, a sad clown, and a windup nightingale enact their nightly escapades alongside a motherly doll, a mean troll, and a brave toy soldier who falls in love with a beautiful, but silent, ballerina.
Recommended for ages 3 and up.  Production running time:  55 minutes
