Description:

When young Shimcheong is given a chance to cure her father’s blindness, she takes it, even though it means sacrificing herself. But the magical journey that follows goes beyond what Shimcheong or anyone else could have ever imagined. Her adventure forces her to have courage and conviction. Through loyal Shimcheong’s story, told by Claire Kwon (’22), with illustrations by Peach Sahasakul (’22) and music by Julia Riew, we learn how to be brave in any situation and how precious our relationships truly are.

 

“Imagine U Storytime” is inspired by the popular Imagine U performance series geared toward families with young children. The frequently sold-out productions take well-known children’s classics and adapt them for the stage. The program includes an opportunity to meet the cast, participate in workshops and receive a take-home program with activities related to the production themes.
