Snowflake presented by Chicago Children's Theatre at Ruth Page Center For Arts

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...Snowflake's loneliness is lessened when he discovers a discarded puppet, sad and forgotten as he is, who he sets out to make smile by magically transforming trash into a pair of skis, a tennis racket, a saw, a suitcase. The simple message: maybe we are all in the gutter—looking at life insurance ads—and maybe loneliness is unavoidable, but we still have the ability to dream, to play, to make each other smile."

Chicago Theatre Review - Recommended

"...For older children and their savvy parents, however, Gale LaJoye has created a show filled with merriment and wonder. His latest theatrical piece not only celebrates the art of Marcel Marceau and Charlie Chaplin, it tells a beautifully poetic and tender story, laced with gentle humor, of a lonely old man who shares his love and meager possessions with a sad puppet child. In doing so, Mr. LaJoye’s virtuosity and artistry shouts loudly amid the sound of silence."
