It’s the early days of America, in the territory that would become the state of Minnesota, when European settlers and Native people come together and inhabit this land, sky, and water. Written in a story theatre format for young audiences and their parents, this is a funny and meaningful look at the many cultures that would populate this land. It will be a 40 minute play with music, that will be produced at the Minnesota Zoo during the summer of 2012.
