Open Dream Ensemble presents Big Shoes

August 29, 2012

Big Shoes is the story of a little boy named Gordy. His big brother Alexander is all that and a bag of chips. He runs an explorer’s club that Gordy desperately wants to join, but Gordy needs a daring expedition of his own under his belt before he’ll be allowed in the club. He decides to climb a local mountain all by himself and he takes his big brother’s shoes along with him on his magical adventure of self-discovery.
