2009-2010
| Last Leaf Productions presents several touring programs each season. Each play is approximately 45 minutes in length followed by a brief visit with the actors to sign autographs or answer questions. The plays are interactive and appropriate for young audiences between ages three and twelve - but are designed to engage and entertain parents and older children as well. For study guides and additional information on each play, visit our "Parents & Educatiors" page. |
"Yeh-Shen" is an original adaptation of an old Chinese folk tale about a considerate young girl who lives with her stepmother and stepsister. She is forced to be a servant in the cave where they live. Her only friend is a golden fish that lives in a small pool in the cave. The fish is magic and he speaks to Yeh-Shen. With the help of her magical fish, Yeh-Shen finds happiness in spite of her stepmother's selfish plans. She meets her prince and, of course, lives 'happily ever after'. |
This popular favorite is an
interactive mystery featuring the
characters from Alice in
Wonderland.

Last Leaf presents this totally original play about Bigfoot - not the Sasquatch
kind, but the kind of person who leaves a giant carbon footprint. In this
production, a teenager named Joslyn is mistaken for the mythical 'Bigfoot'
because of the enormous carbon footprints she is leaving behind. Through
games, songs , and some very silly costumes, Professor Leslie Lookout and
wildlife expert, Rodney McAdoo, give Joslyn some useful pointers to help her
make her carbon footprint much smaller and educate her about the history of
fossil fuels and energy.
Last Leaf is currently seeking funding to enable us to offer free performances
of this program to qualified schools and libraries during the spring and fall of
2009. If you are interested in applying, please contact us before January 30th.
