Around the World in 8 Folk Tales — by Think Global Arts, Naperville

Editor's note: this is an archived 2014 community announcement; the event has long since taken place.

"Around the World in 8 Folk Tales" was a family theatrical production presented by Naperville's ThinkGlobal Arts Foundation, bringing together folk tales from eight countries — the United States, Japan, Peru, China, Croatia, India, and Turkey — in a single stage production celebrating cultural understanding.
