Show Information


Children's Theatre Company

Star Tribune- Recommended

"...The one-hour one-act, which premiered over the weekend at the Children’s Theatre and which is recommended for older children, is set in a rough patch of Cleveland that has functioned like, as one of the characters says, a hotel. People stay for as long as necessary before moving on. The neighborhood has turned over from immigrant whites to migrating blacks to a new batch of immigrants from Asia and Latin America, even as people remain from the earlier waves. In other words, it’s a mosaic of America, full of accents and different backgrounds."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press- Highly Recommended

"...Yes, it's a story about using your ears, but the most impressive ear belongs to Parks, who displays a magnificent gift for capturing the voices of people from distinctly different cultures and life experiences, and compelling you to listen."

How Was The Show- Highly Recommended

"...All these characters are played by the luminous and uber-talented Sonja Parks. Parks does yeoperson work in Seedfolks, switching from character to character with grasshopper-like speed and astonishing ingenuity. She deftly sketches in each one (and she gets, no doubt, much help from able director Peter Brosius) and gives each a defining physicality. Parks, lean and lithe, athletically takes and holds the stage. For an hour and fifteen minutes, everyone in the CTC’s Cargill theater was in her sway. I was."

Aisle Say Twin Cities- Recommended

"...While Seedfolks may not change your life, or even make you ponder too deeply, it will lift your spirits and remind you of the basic principle that underneath everything we are all just human beings."
