Thrilled to announce THE CHILDREN won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Los Angeles Theatre!

Produced last year by The Theatre @ Boston Court and directed by Jessica Kubzansky, THE CHILDREN combines Greek mythology, high tragedy, broad comedy, and puppetry to tell the story about what happens to Medea's children when a brave chorus member decides to save them from their terrible fate.
