WOODLAND TALES
Adapted for the stage by the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble

Curriculum Connections: language arts, theater arts,
commitment to character studies

PERFORMED IN THE ROUND
(Maximum audience 300)

How did the turkey get his gobble? Why are the rabbit's ears so long? How did the frog lose his teeth? For hundreds of years, Native American children have delighted in stories of how animals came to be as they are. Like Kipling's JUST SO STORIES, the Native American legends in WOODLAND TALES combine humor and wisdom to enchant the youngest among us.

Actors and audience sit together in the round, sharing the stories much as the tribe might have done around a camp fire hundreds of years ago. The lively storytelling in an intimate setting and interactive audience participation make this a perfect first-time theater experience.

" . . . The child in me enjoyed; the academic teacher in me enjoyed; the drama teacher in me was in awe. . . "
