Summer tour of the cities of Greece by the children's stage Carmen Rouggeri
A diamond of world literature
Based on the novel by Eleanor Porter
Text: Carmen Rouggeri
Directed by: Carmen Rouggeri – Christina Kouloumpi
"Pollyanna" The game of joy" is the title of the play that she will present this year on her summer tour in the open-air theaters of our Greece, from the 1η July to September 12th the Carmen Rouggeris children's stage.
This is a "game" about Pollyanna, a twelve-year-old, cute girl, who completely conquered the hearts of young and old the winter it was staged at the Ark Theater.
Pollyanna, the heroine of the story, becomes a symbol of love and kindness for all who come across her path. She always sees the rosy side of life, and believes that one can find joy even if something unpleasant happens to him.
Χαρά that beautifies and improves everything in life.
The show has a very interesting plot. Clever sets and fairytale costumes with attention to detail and even inspired choreography set to original music and songs with country, foxtrot, rock and roll, godspell and blues rhythms.
The pawns of this game are:
- optimism versus pessimism,
- goodness against evil,
- interest versus indifference
- positive thinking versus negative thinking
- laughter versus crying
- forgiveness versus revenge
- joy versus sadness

A few words about the project:
Once upon a time, in a faraway place, somewhere in America, many years ago, there was a melancholy village.
In this village the residents were somewhat unapproachable. They didn't strike up a conversation easily, they smiled very rarely. In other words... in this village it's as if THE JOY HAS BEEN LOST
Our little heroine arrives alone in this small village with its indifferent and sad residents and, by applying the "game of joy", manages in a short time to cheer them all up and fill them with optimism, joy and hope.
Statement by Carmen Rouggeri
"The play has such an interesting plot and such a beautiful ending that it can keep the interest of young and old undiminished. In my opinion, it is for all ages. The Treasures-messages that this play has are so many that surely our young and old viewers will leave this performance much richer."
Statement by Christina Kouloumpi
«"The Game of Joy" by Eleanor Porter is the masterpiece of American Literature that marked my childhood! A book that influenced the way I see life in an unimaginably positive way!
Heroine, a little 12-year-old girl who - despite the adversities that occur in her life - manages to face the difficulties with a smile and optimism! Her father, a poor missionary, had taught her to play the "game of joy" which is the secret of happiness! Through the adventures of little Pollyanna we understand the value of gratitude, the love that is transmitted through kindness, friendship and the hope that illuminates our thinking to choose the good even when everything seems difficult...
