Triplet sisters are left in the forest by their woodcutter father. From this fairytale beginning, three resolutions are made - one sister will walk one way, one the other, and the third will stay right where she is. Twenty years later, having circumnavigated the globe, and fought vikings, and crossed oceans, and tamed wilds, and achieved greatness, the three meet again, as women. In the 100th production of Finegan Kruckemeyer's celebrated play, Theater Alliance puts a local spin on the timeless tale. Enjoyed by audiences of all ages.

"...So begins Director Johamy Morales' tenaciously charming production of Finegan Kruckemeyer's seriously sweet coming-of-age allegory, This Girl Laughs, This Girl Cries, This Girl Does Nothing - the first entry in a season featuring family-friendly productions intended to bring the distinctly socially conscious theater company's ideals to audiences of all ages. After 20 years of what Artistic Director Raymond O. Caldwell calls "uniquely adult" programming, Theater Alliance now means to inspire "dynamic intergenerational conversations" - the idea being that fairytales, fables, and other such ageless forms of storytelling help shape human empathy for others and oneself, values much needed right now."
