“The Twig Family in the Oak Tree” is a happy gentle story about a family of imaginary “twig” people who live in harmony with nature. They are Leaf, Fern and their daughter Mossy. The Oak Tree provides them with everything they need to live and be happy. It is their home, they grind the acorns into dough for bread, they collect rainwater to drink and the leaves give them oxygen for fresh air. AND it’s a fun place to live!
What a surprise when they receive a visit from a very nervous “cousin Lawn” who is determined that they should leave their home!
The stage is constructed entirely of papier mache. The Twig Family people are free-standing “puppets” that are moved around the different places in the tree just as a child plays and creates stories. The “Tree Stage” is approximately 7 feet tall.
The show runs about 45 minutes.
"The Twig Family in the Oak Tree is a must for all children to see. It fit in perfectly with our unit on trees. The children are still talking about it. Thanks for making the Twig family, robin, squirrel and Hyla the tree frog come to life." -Martha O'Connor, Naquag Elementary School, Rutland. MA.
