Bridge To Terabithia; Tale Of The Mandarin Ducks Ledge, The Not I Said the Little Red Hen Surviving the Applewhites Tale Of Jemima Puddle-Duck, The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks, TheBridge 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.

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"?

Top of PageTale 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.
