One of our favorite English language bookstores, The Paperback Exchange, is hosting children's English language theater every Saturday until Christmas. At the bookstore (located near the Duomo on Via delle Oche), The Florence International Theatre Company will be presenting "Merry Christmas, Strega Nona" - a dramatization of the children's book by Tomie de Paola, directed by Amy Folkes (an American expat living in Florence). The show is appropriate for 4-10 year olds (or slightly older) and will take place Saturdays (December 9,16 and 23) at 10am. Entry to the event is free, but seating is limited so they are recommending reservations - you can call The Paperback Exchange at 055-293460 or email [email protected].
