Fat Horse And Slim

Synopsis:
Based on cowboy tales theodore Mann created for his sons when they were young, and which are now favorites of his grandchildren, Fat Horse and Slim follows the adventures of a cowboy from Odessa, Texas, who lives in the desert with his loyal Talking Horse. they meet characters from many cultures and learn how to overcome any obstacle. eating only coconuts, cactus, and palm leaves, the colorful pair joyfully discover Chinese vegetables from another world, rescue circus animals, and take a trip to the snowy mountains - that taste like Ice Cream. This is a production of Circle in the Square theatre School.

Zulu And the Zayda, The

Zulu And the Zayda, The
As outlined in the Hollywood Reporter: ". . ..Has to do with finding a 'grandpa sitter' for Zayda, who has a habit of wandering off and getting lost somewhere on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Harry Grossman's South African servant, Johannes, convinces him that his brother, Paulus, would be the ideal man to keep a watchful eye on the old man. the two of them hit it off immediately, with Zayda learning Zulu expressions, and Paulus in turn being taught Yiddish. Pretty soon, it becomes the relationship almost of Father and son, going on long walks together, with some amusing discourses on the differences as well as similarities in customs and traditions, and this fraternization inevitably leads to trouble with the authorities, who impose sever penalties for traveling without a pass, or going "where you don't belong," or for being a host to a new-found companionship, Zayda inevitably gets Paulus and his circle of friends into the police mesh. One complication follows another, with Paulus eventually being dismissed and sent off by Harry Grossman, the trouble-plagues son of Zayda. It breaks the old man's heart. However, in the end, all winds up happily."
