Description
Adapted from Southern folktales, this emerges as a remarkably playable story theatre production filled with music, dance and mime. Producers may select from among stories unified by folk dances. The musical works equally well with school-age actors and or with adults. Storytellers introduce the colorful characters that all share in the energetic fun: Daddy Mention and Sourdough Gus, a mysterious Great Conjur-Alligator-Man of Florida, an absurd Talking Mule, the scatterbrained Georgia Piney Woods Peddler, a sinister Mister Fox, the droll Twist Mouth Family and a ludicrous Pudding That Broke Up the Preaching. An author’s note is available in the script containing details on set. Individual plays may be used singly. Simple unit set. Suitable for touring. Folk dance costumes. Approximate running time: 45 minutes.
