Bridge To Terabithia; Tale Of The Mandarin Ducks

Bridge To Terabithia; Tale Of The Mandarin Ducks
This powerful adaptation, supported by a lyrical score, focuses the humor, warmth and emotional intensity of Katherine Paterson's Newbery Award winning novel. Jesse, alienated from the pragmatism of his family and rural Virginia culture, draws and dreams of becoming something special. Leslie, the new girl from the city and the ultimate outsider, opens a world of imagination, art and literature for him. Together they create Terabithia, a fantasy kingdom where they are safe from those who don't understand them. Their friendship grows as Jesse's world expands. When tragedy strikes, the strength gained in Terabithia takes Jesse forward on his own and lets him share the magic of his dreams.

Hoodwinked

Hoodwinked
Foot stomping production numbers and soaring solos and duets punctuate this hilarious romp through Sherwood Forest. Robin Hood and his famous band come face to face with some very liberated women. When the Sheriff of Nottingham captures Maid Marian for the umpteenth time, the ensuing antics involve such plots and ploys as Tuck's confession concession, dancing bears, a strike by the Nottingham hangman's local, the proclaiming of a holiday for villains-- and the liberation of Maid Marian in more ways than one. Here is a show for all those men who dream of being Errol Flynn and all those women who would rather rescue themselves.

Tale Of Jemima Puddle-Duck

Synopsis:
"Ducks don't have the patience to hatch their own eggs," says Henrietta Hen. "Flibberty-gibbets, the lot of them!" In this light-hearted musical adaptation of Beatrix Potter's classic tale, Jemima Puddle-Duck determines to prove the conceited Henrietta wrong. In the woods she encounters a fine, polite gentleman with a splendid bushy tail and pointed ears who offers his summer house as a nesting place. Dreaming of omelets and roasted duck, the "gentleman" fox sings that his dreams are about to come true. Will Jemima survive to raise a brood of "precious little loves"?

Tale of the Mandarin Ducks, The

Tale of the Mandarin Ducks, The
This dramatic adaptation of a Japanese folktale is two stories: that of a pair of Mandarin ducks and the samurai and kitchen maid who come to their aid. In the end, it is the ducks who save the human pair. The play draws on conventions of Japanese theater such as the use of puppets, masks and visible prop men.
