Children’s Tour

A Thousand Cranes is the moving true story about the effects of war on the life a 12-year-old Japanese girl named Sadako, and how, through her spirit of hope and determination, she be­came an inspiration for generations to come. With an eye toward the future, this year’s production of A Thousand Cranes will incorporate recent events in Japan and connect them to the spir­it of Sadako and her message of hope.

Performed in striking visual terms with puppetry and scenery, A Thou­sand Cranes offers an extraordinary opportunity to share a culturally rich theatrical experience with your students. The director, designers, performers, and production crew are students and professionals from Syracuse University Department of Drama and Syracuse Stage.

Each fall, the Bank of America Children’s Tour brings high-energy, interactive, and culturally diverse performances to elementary school audiences.

Each performance is fully staged with scenery, costumes, and sound. You need only provide the stage, cafeteria, classroom, or any open space!

Performances include a talkback with the actors and our helpful study guide for further classroom exploration. Pre- or post-show sessions with our talented Teaching Artists can be arranged upon request.

"Outstanding... thank you for bringing
diversity and culture to our community!"
