The Jesters, a performance group of people with special needs, will present ROUNDABOUT, an original, family-oriented production that uses theatre, singing, live instrument accompaniment and dance to tell the age-old story of people in conflict who are challenged to learn to live together in peace. During the show, character groups Squares and Triangles stomp around the world seeking a treasure that is being carefully guarded by the Circles. Watching their rampage, the animals eventually intervene, creating an opportunity for peaceful resolution.
Performances will be presented April 18, 3 p.m. and April 19, 6 p.m. at the auditorium of University of Saint Francis’ North Campus building located at 2701 Spring Street. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children 10 and under. Group rates of 20 tickets or more will also be made available at $5 per ticket.
Now sponsored by the University of St. Francis and operated out of the School of Creative Arts, the Jesters was founded in 1978. For 30 years, participants have been children and adults with special needs and physical disabilities such as autism, Down’s Syndrome and mild/moderate developmental disabilities. After years of operating out of classrooms and rented space, the Jesters has found a permanent home at the University of St. Francis.
