The Sierra Madre Playhouse invites families across the Southland to a morning of interactive fun with “A Feast from the East,” a vibrant theatrical performance for all ages presented by We Tell Stories. The show takes place on Saturday, August 2, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at the Playhouse, located at 87 W. Sierra Madre Boulevard, and features a lively lineup of folktales from Japan, China, and India.
An Interactive Cultural Experience for Kids
Geared especially for children, “A Feast from the East” transforms traditional storytelling into a hands-on experience where the audience becomes part of the performance. Tales like “The Two Stonecutters,” “How the Rabbit Got Long Ears,” and “Shankar and the White Elephant” come alive with audience participation. Kids will help shape stories that emphasize values like honesty, creativity, and self-discovery while learning about global cultures.
About We Tell Stories
Founded in 1981, We Tell Stories is a Los Angeles-based multicultural theater troupe that brings world folklore and classic literature to life through performance. With minimal props, imaginative staging, and community engagement, the company blends storytelling and audience interaction to educate and entertain. Integral to the performance is a vintage trunk filled with homemade props and costumes used to transform children into key characters on stage.
This engaging format fosters early literacy, boosts self-esteem, and encourages empathy and intercultural understanding—all while keeping children laughing, thinking, and learning.
