“Lig & Bittle is a charmer of a physical comedy about the desire to blend in…The writing is deft, light, non-preachy and knowing.”
Liz Nicholls, Edmonton Journal

“Dear Lig & Bittle: I learned from your play that you don’t pick on others and different people are OK.”
Mat, Grade 2 Student

Praise for past Elementary productions:

“I can only praise Concrete Theatre for their great work! From the booking agent to the cast and crew, it was an absolute delight to work with them… I am already counting down until next year’s performance!”
Lindy Bonn, Children’s Program Coordinator, Yellowhead County

We are bringing back a company favorite…

Lig & Bittle is about two people trying to find their place in a hard-to-fit-in world. Lig who is big and Bittle who is little are invited to Perfeckt Phitt – a mysterious place where they will fit in. On their adventure they discover many things about themselves, about friendship and about what it means to be different from those around you. This engaging and energetic production celebrates the diversity in all of us.

Curriculum Ties:
• Aligned with the goals of Elementary social studies that include recognition and respect for individual identity and values of social compassion, fairness.
• General Outcome 5 of the Elementary English Language Arts Program: “Respect Others and Strengthen Community” and the specific outcome of appreciating diversity.

50 minutes with a 5-10 minute Q & A.
