Tales from Five Continents

Play #: 8048
Pages: 36 pgs
Cast: Cast of 15 to 53

Take your young audience on a journey around the globe discovering other cultures. From Africa we have the tale of why the Sun and Moon live in the sky. From the Pacific Northwestern Native Americans is the story of the ocean and its tides. From South America we learn how the beetle got its beautiful coat, while from Asia is the tale of why toads croak before a rain storm. The play ends with an Aesop fable from Europe that tells why the bat flies alone and at night. Weaving it all together is a Cherokee fable that explains the bringing of stories into the world. The tales are humorous, touching, and explore the richness of other cultures. Simple lengths of fabric can suggest costumes, which can be enhanced with masks and headpieces. About an hour.
