"Sadko's Song: A Russian Tale," rich in music and lore, is a gentle reminder to be true to ourselves for the rewards in life are fleeting and we must not forget to celebrate the gifts we have been given. This tale celebrates music and love both on land and under the water.

The founders and artists behind The Betsy Stage introduce The BiTSY Stage. Through the process of storytelling we can find commonality and community. We provide high quality, FREE theatrical productions for the whole family. Our adaptations of international folktales celebrate the things we all have in common while exploring the differences that make our world so rich.
