The answer is unequivocal: a full house, sincere emotions of the audience, laughter and applause! This is exactly how the premiere of the children's play based on Ivan Franko's fairy tale The Painted Fox took place.
The newly established Ukrainian amateur theater Traveling Stars, which debuted last year at Ukrainian Hall San Francisco in San Francisco, has been actively working to create this last-minute performance for our youngest audience members and gave an incredible time to everyone present!
The audience was transported to a magical forest where adventures with a cunning fox took place.... The guests saw a lot of instructive and funny things, and even after centuries Ivan Franko's work instills love for Ukrainian fairy tales.
