Story theatre play with audience participation. Flexible casting (minimum of 4 actors, male or female). "Based on the very popular children's book series, The Cow Who Wouldn't Come Down, The Pig Who Ran a Red Light, and The Goose Who Went Off in a Huff, written and illustrated by Paul Brett Johnson, Cows Don't Fly captures his vision of a world where extraordinary things happen on a regular basis. Can Gertrude the Cow play the piano? No problem. Can Miss Rosemary create a home-made cow? Easy as apple pie! Can a lost baby elephant find happiness with a runaway goose? You'll just have to read the play to find out. ... originally written for a versatile company of four actors who played a total of fifteen characters (not counting townspeople). They switch identities on the turn of line by pulling a hat or a prop out of the pouches they wear. Obviously, if you want to spread the fun around, you can use more people. The scenery is simple (though the prop list runs to two pages) and so must be the costumes, because the actors change characters so often. Just headpieces for the animal costumes, leaving the actors' faces and limbs free for their wildest shenanigans. ... What a delightful play! I was in stitches the whole time, and so were the children around me. They were riveted, laughing and totally involved. And it's a wonderful little story, about dreaming your wildest dreams, and the acceptance of individuality, all those ideals we want to share with children through the theatre. I can't wait to produce Cows Don't Fly with my own company."--Teresa Lee, Director, Appalachian Young People's Theatre, Boone, NC

This New York Times bestseller recounts the true story of the touching gift bestowed on the US by the Maasai people in the wake of the September 11 attacks. In June of 2002, a mere nine months since the September 11 attacks, a very unusual ceremony begins in a far-flung village in western Kenya. An American diplomat is surrounded by hundreds of Maasai people. A gift is about to be bestowed upon the American men, women, and children, and he is there to accept it. The gift is as unexpected as it is extraordinary. Hearts are raw as these legendary Maasai warriors offer their gift to a grieving people half a world away. Word of the gift will travel newswires around the globe, and for the heartsick American nation, the gift of fourteen cows emerges from the choking dust and darkness as a soft light of hope―and friendship. With stunning paintings from Thomas Gonzalez, master storyteller Carmen Agra Deedy (in collaboration with Naiyomah) hits all the right notes in this elegant story of generosity that crosses boundaries, nations, and cultures.
