Kafka for kids? Is that a good idea? Fortunately, with a slight change in tone, it is. The fantastical elements of The Metamorphosis strike a chord with adolescents who are often experiencing their own struggles with changing bodies. DANCING ON THE CEILING is an expressionistic fairy-tale about identity and role expectations. It's scary, funny, and moving. "Austin Tichenor recognizes that children are intelligent discriminating patrons of the arts ... giving them last summer's daring and innovative DANCING ON THE CEILING ..." -Milford Cabinet, Milford, NH "Tichenor's belief in serious play has brought him full circle. Like his plays for tots at American Stage Festival, his work for the Reduced Shakespeare Company is smart, fun, children's theater for grownups." -Bostonia Magazine
