Tuck Everlasting
SYNOPSIS
This spring, Valley Theatre Company's Rising Stars Production is bringing magic to the stage with Tuck Everlasting! Follow Winnie Foster, a curious young girl who discovers a family with a secret that could change life itself a magical spring that grants eternal life. As Winnie learns the truth about the Tuck family, she is faced with a powerful question: is living forever a blessing or a curse? The stakes rise when an outsider attempts to exploit the spring for selfish gain, forcing Winnie and the Tucks to protect their secret. Through courage, compassion, and thoughtful choices, they learn what truly matters in life, and audiences are invited to reflect on the natural cycles of growing up, aging, and the beauty of life’s fleeting moments.
This production promises a rich theatrical experience filled with heart, adventure, and unforgettable characters. With captivating performances, dynamic staging, and the timeless themes of family, choice, and self-discovery, Tuck Everlasting, written by Mark Frattaroli and Natalie Babbitt, is a story that resonates with audiences of all ages.
Featuring more than 40 young artists, this production highlights students from 3rd grade through high school. Participants in 3rd–8th grade perform and contribute behind the scenes, while high school students lead in design and production roles. Together, they bring creativity and collaboration to life on stage.
Tuck Everlasting is produced by special arrangement with Stage Partners. (www.yourstagepartners.com)
