Children’s Theatre (OCT) opens its
world stage premiere of Little House
on the Prairie January 12 at Portland
Civic Auditorium.
This original stage adaptation re
counts Laura Ingalls Wilder’s har
rowing and heartwarming story of
herpioneerfamily’s move west. Spe
cial musical highlights include tradi
tional folk songs and Native Ameri
can rhythms.
Laura Ingalls Wilder was bom in
1867 and died at the age of 90, after
writing numerous children’s books
providing a first-hand picture of
American pioneer life. Wilder com
pleted the eighth and final book in
the Little House series at the age of
76.
The NBC-TV series entitled Lit
tle House on the Prairie was based on
a compilation of episodes from the
Little House series.
Oregon Children’s Theatre pre
sents quality stage adaptations of the
best in children’s literature. “We’re
especially excited about this produc
tion since Little House has consis
tently ranked as one of the ’most
wanted’ productions in our annual
teacher surveys,” said Sondra
Pearlman, OCT Executive Produc
er. “Little House continues to have a
tremendously popular following
among both children and adults.”
Approximately 42,000 area students
will attend 14 sold-out school per
formances of Little House.
