Official event websiteAbout this event
ECHO Players present A Winter Wager, Lenora Jean's stage adaptation of Jane Yolen's modern fairy tale Good Griselle, directed by Ashlee Sales. In old Paris, kind and lonely Griselle spends her days helping others until, on Christmas Eve, supernatural forces make a wager over her and put her through a series of trials. The production uses music and movement and is made for both adults and children. Opening night is December 10 at 7:30 pm and the run closes with a 2 pm matinee on December 27.
