Across the Plains: the Journey Of the Palace Wagon Family

Synopsis:
Based on actual letters, diaries, magazine and newspaper articles of the period, this play follows young Virginia Reed and her family on their journey from Illinois to California as part of a wagon train that became known as the "Martyr Pioneers." Folk songs combine with Dramatic action to recreate moments both typical of the 19th-century's vast migration and unique to the courageous struggle of members of the Donner Party, who were trapped by snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains during the ferocious winter of 1846-47. Commissioned by the Coterie theater, across the Plains was selected for the Kennedy Center's New Visions/New Voices program and received the American alliance for theatre and education's Playreading Project National award. In the word of seventh-graders who attended the Coterie's performances: "I would recommend this play to anyone." "there was not a bored person in the whole theatre." "I was with you on the long journey to California." "It was truly the best play I have ever seen." Minimal sets.

Too Many Frogs!

Synopsis:
Rabbit lives alone - he cooks for himself, cleans up after himself, and reads himself a nightly bedtime story. It's a pleasant life, and Rabbit likes it. then along comes Froggie - wet from a rainstorm, fixing snacks, and fluffing pillows to make story time more cozy. Too much fuss! Too much clutter! But Froggie listens as Rabbit reads old favorites - Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the elves and the Shoemaker, and the Ugly Duckling - all magically brought to life for the audience on a puppet stage above Rabbit's bookshelves while Rabbit reads. But when Froggie invites dozens and dozens of his frog cousins in for a story, Rabbit's patience runs out - Too Many Frogs! Or is it? Rabbit sends Froggie and his family away, then slowly comes to realize that sharing stories with enthusiastic listeners is a different kind of life. and he likes it! the delightful picture book on which this play is based has been honored with state book awards in Texas and North Dakota and is nominated for many more. One set, with puppet stage

Walking Toward America

Synopsis:
Walking Toward America - a one woman script by Sandra Fenichel asher, is based on the memoirs of Ilga Vise, who was a child witness to the devastation of World War II and the strength that got her family through it. In the winter of 1944-1945, ten-year-old Ilga and her parents left Riga, Latvia, to escape the Russian occupation of their city. Soon they were taken into a German forced labor camp, where they spent a brutal month - but fared far better than the Jewish prisoners held on the other side of a barbed wire fence. eventually, the family walked 500 miles across frozen, war-torn northern Germany, survived strafing by Russian planes, and found their way to a refugee camp in western Germany. Six years later, they sailed through an Atlantic storm to safety and freedom in America
