Event: "Big Ralph-The Bully Elf" by American Dream
Factory
Big Ralph is one of the North Pole's top elves...
but he has some issues. First, he is bigger than
all of the other eleves and he's not very nice. He
is a bully and he bullies everyone around him,
including the life size toys in his shop. But
Ralph doesn't count on the toys having a say in
things themselves. Filled with original,
entertaining songs and music, this show
captures the essence of important issues such
as self esteem, friendship, understanding and
compassion. It also deals with bullying, why it
might happen and how it can be overcome, all
interwoven into a fun filled holiday story. And in
the end, it is through love that true change in
someone can occur. Big Ralph-The Bully Elf is
for families and children of all ages, but will
especially appeal to those in K-5.
Date: Saturday, December 8, 2007
Location: Oldham County Arts Center
7105 Floydsburg Road, Crestwood, KY
Time: 11 am
Ticket Price: $8 - can be purchased in advance at the Arts Center
