Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters: An African Tale
Back by popular demand! Due to overwhelming interest, DCT is bringing back its highly acclaimed production of the beloved African folktale.
When a great African king desires a wife, only the most perfect maidens in the land are invited to meet him. Mufaro's pride and joy, his two daughters of very different dispositions, travel a half day's journey through a mystical jungle and across a deep river to be presented to the king. Along the way the two girls encounter a number of mysterious situations that test their courage, kindness and strength of spirit.
Combining authentic African drumming, powerful and majestic choreography and thrilling original music, the splendor of Zimbabwe and energy of the African land will burst onto stage in this Caldecott award-winning Cinderella tale! "From the moment the lights went on, until the very end, I was mesmerized, as were my students! The performers were outstanding. We would love to see the Dallas Children's Theater perform again in the future." (Lauri Harvey, 4th grade teacher, Ontario, OH)
