Three Lucky Charms

There is always something happening at Higashi! We were lucky enough to have Theater CALL from Japan come to our school and perform "Three Lucky Charms". Theater CALL is a group from Japan that puts on bilingual plays with live musical accompaniment. The play we were so fortunate to see was presented as 2D Puppet Theater with a little surprise! The story follows a young boy that gets lost in the mountains, thinking he is saved by an old woman he stays the night, only to find out that she is a witch hungry for children!

Our students absolutely loved the presentation! The 2D puppets turned into live actors that ran through the crowds interacting with the viewers. Some of our students even tried saving the young boy by hiding him in our viewing chairs! In the end our spirits at Higashi never faltered and with our help the boy was saved from the mountain witch!

We’d like to thank Jun Takashi, The Japan Society of Boston, The Tokyo Club, & Japan Airlines for working with us to make this wonderful event happen at our school!
