Nice & Slow: Theatre for Young Audiences Spring 2024 Tour
Nice & Slow
Written by Lojo Simon | Directed by Nicola Olsen
Touring Spring 2024

About The Play:
Sam is slow getting ready this morning. The grown-ups in the house expect their kid to share their hurried lifestyle, and they're not pleased. Just as Sam prepares to hop to it, the sloth living in Sam's upper bunk tickles the child's nose and triggers a sneeze. Sam goes from rushing to get ready for school to having the day off...and going on fantastical adventures with Sloth! As the pair zip from adventure to adventure inside Sam's bedroom, Sam learns that there is indeed a time to go fast, but even more important in our fast-paced, hurried world, a time to go Nice & Slow.

About the Program:
Each spring, Fresno State students enroll in a course to bring children's theatre productions to elementary and middle schools throughout the San Joaquin Valley. This touring company of student actors has been a tradition at Fresno State for over 50 years, and have toured more than 40 schools and over 16,000 children in a single season.
