Butterbird Christmas Debuts on 12/7/14 at the Marshall J.
Gardner Center
We are soooo stoked about our
debut performance and hope that you will bring in the holidays with the Family
Folklore Players! We will perform our original radio play, Butterbird
Christmas, at 4:00pm at the Marshall J. Garner Center for the Arts in the
Miller Beach Arts & Creative District of Gary, Indiana. Doors open at 3:30
PM, tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for children, a variety of baked sale
goods will be available, and the Calumet Ridge Jazz Ensemble will be
accompanying the project.
Butterbird Christmas, is a
hilarious romp for the whole family. Inspired by the era of classic
broadcasting, the cast and crew banded together to create a timeless piece
about growing up in Chicagoland.

Some very important
characteristics differentiate Butterbird Christmas from many
other radio plays out on the market today:
1.
It is an
all-volunteer run production.
2.
Proceeds go
to a multitude of projects dedicated to promoting literacy & arts education
in Northwest Indiana.
3.
It is an
intergenerational, multicultural radio play written about Da Region by a
homegrown writer
The Family Folklore Foundation’s
mission is to offer educational opportunities to intergenerational community
members using literacy and problem-solving strategies to make the world a
better place. Over the course of the project, our players enjoyed
communicating and communing with the wide range of volunteers and supporters.
We have had the privilege of sharing in many special holiday moments with the
cast and crew, and especially liked knowing all the goodwill this project will
spread across the community. There is even a documentary being produced about
the making of “Butterbird Christmas”
that will be available in the spring.
