Journey into the Appalachian Mountains in this award-winning musical
that deftly weaves six traditional tales and original music into a
keepsake quilt of mountain lore and wisdom for the whole family.
Three “Jack tales” feature the resourceful, clever Jack who climbs a
wonder-bean tree to find giants in the sky, who lands himself a job
despite his foolishness and who wins the heart of Featherflight, the
magical daughter of a devilish trickster. “Catskins” is a spunky
Appalachian Cinderella. “The Enchanted Tree” is a
beauty-and-the-beast love story between a lost girl and a frightening
crow. And in a zany, sung-through “Sow and Her Three Pigs” plucky
Nancy the pig outsmarts the hungry fox. This musical play
incorporates singing, mountain dances, music and giant puppets to
create a highly theatrical storytelling style. The score, which
interweaves music throughout the tales, is inspired by “Old Time”
Appalachian music featuring fiddle and banjo that drives the play’s
action and makes music itself a character in the play.
