Nyx and The Long Night
December 9, 2022 at 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm PST
An original winter folk myth.
Co-created by Emily McHugh, Donald Palardy, & Lily Raabe
Directed by Luz Gaxiola
Once upon a time there were two sisters: Sol, a child of Day, and Luna, a child of Night. Every day they played a game of catch in the sky, tossing the sun and the moon between them. Everything changed the day they dropped the sun. Now, the world has been dark for a very long time – an endless winter solstice. Perhaps a young woman named Nyx will be the answer. Part girl, part tree, and raised under the light of the stars, her magic and courage might just save the world.
Recommended for ages 5 and up.
