Overview: Join us for a captivating one-hour adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s timeless tale, “The Selfish Giant,” infused with a charming Latino flair. This heartwarming story unfolds with songs in cumbia, cha-cha-cha, merengue, bachata, and even disco!

Plot Summary: After years of neglect, a giant discovers that the village children have used him for play. After evicting them and erecting a wall, the giant must learn to love and respect both himself and others if he wants things to change for the first time.

Language Fusion: This is a bilingual production that seamlessly interpolates English and Spanish, ensuring a rich and inclusive experience for all attendees. The play is designed to be enjoyed in both languages, adding an extra touch of cultural vitality.

Audience: While “The Selfish Giant” is a family-friendly play, we recommend it for children aged 5 and above. The narrative, skillfully interpreted by our talented cast, promises an engaging experience for both young and adult audiences.

Production: This play is a collaborative effort by The Mississauga Players, always committed to promoting theatrical culture and providing opportunities to Latin American artists in productions that enrich professional theater in Canada
