DESCRIPTION:
Odd and funny things happen as a litterbug witch, two children, a goat, a ghost, a fox and assorted magicians mingle in and near the Magic Forest.
Every child helps with the magic ingredients and raises a flower. The magical result is the creation of Spring -with a lot of help from the audience.

“A knack for finding lesser known stories and distilling them to suit the tastes of the very young fans and keep them fascinated with low-key make-believe..The puppets are charming, the 45 min. program never overexcites the audience, although there’s lots of time for participation.”
-The New York Times

“An unpretentious puppet play with real warmth and gentleness. Its success with young audiences is due to the charm and honesty of the presentation they feel from first to last.” -New York
