Original Theatre

The Glassblower's Daughter
Book & Lyrics by  Zareh Artinian, Music & Lyrics by Kelvyn Koning

NOTE FROM THE BOOK AUTHOR:
I am an idealist. I recognize the suffering in the world
and the brutality that people have inflicted upon others. I
am not naïve nor do I turn a blind eye to humanity’s brutal
history, especially as it has played out, and continues to
play out, in the land currently referred to as the
Americas. I present this show as a fairy tale to show what might have
been possible had different choices been made. I want
people to realize that just because the world has always
been a certain way that does not mean it always must be
that way. I offer this little tale as a means to get people
thinking in less fatalistic ways, to imagine what might be
possible, AND to do the hard work needed to make that
quixotic Utopia a reality. - z.
