Marc Palmieri, Regina Betancourt, Lynn Mancinelli, Jim Sterling, Brian Barnhart, David Crabb, Britt Genelin, Spencer Aste, Edgar Oliver and Laurie Kilmartin. The production features costumes by Elisa Santiago, lighting by David Zeffren & Amy Harper, stage management by Edward Terhune, sound/music design & arrangement by Steve Fontaine, and original songs by Randy Sharp.

For the eighth consecutive season, Axis Company will present its winter show for children, Seven In One Blow, or The Brave Little Kid, beginning December 4th. Adapted from the classic fairy tale by The Brothers Grimm, this interactive play with music is conceived by Axis Company and directed by Randy Sharp featuring Axis' signature blend of advanced technology and live performance. Children in the audience will be encouraged to participate in many of the Kid's challenges with singing and organized "shout outs." Appropriate for ages 4 and up.

In Seven In One Blow, or The Brave Little Kid, a child living in the city kills seven flies with a single swat and makes a belt emblazoned with "SEVEN IN ONE BLOW" to commemorate the event. As he is traveling about, most people think his belt refers to seven people and assign the Kid all kinds of difficult tasks based on this faulty presumption. Along the way a few interesting things are learned: an Ogre finds that you don't always have to show how strong you are... sometimes it's okay just to be quiet about it; a girl realizes that when you tease people you are hurting someone who may be just like you; and a scary monster understands that because she is loved, she may not be so scary after all. In the end, the Kid ultimately discovers that a parents' love and care has no bounds.

This production is made possible by a generous grant from
the Peter Jay Sharp Foundation
