Features: We bring ourselves closer to happiness by giving happiness to others. We should choose the path to happiness through kindness, compassion, and generosity. The Blue Bird, this Nobel Prize-winning fairy tale, is rich in poetry and enchanting. The Blue Bird was originally a fairy tale play with six acts and twelve scenes. The original was written in French and premiered in English at the Haymarket Theatre in London in 1909, receiving great acclaim. The magnificent sets were colorful and beautiful, and children especially loved the various sprites jumping out of the little house: the Bread Spirit, the Sugar Spirit, the Fire Spirit, the Water Spirit, the uniquely different Cat Spirit and Dog Spirit, and the Light Spirit representing hope. Many children who saw this Christmas play might go home with wide eyes, earnestly searching for the Cookie Spirit and the dust spirits drifting in the light.
