Based on the bestselling children’s novel by Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting makes its regional premiere at Palo Alto’s TheatreWorks just in time for the holiday season. Set in the late 19th century, the story chronicles the life of young Winnie Foster, whose adventures lead her to stumble upon the Tuck family and their secret to immortality. Directed by TheatreWorks founder and artistic director Robert Kelley, it is brought to life with a score and lyrics by Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen; the pair originally wrote the songs for Tuck while in residence at the TheatreWorks Writers’ Retreat in 2010. Runs through Dec. 30.
