Story theater with audience participation. Adapted by Vivian and Larry Snipes from the books by Paul Brett Johnson. Cast: 4 to 15 actors, plus extras. Based on the 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, Cows Don't Fly captures the 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 homemade cow? Easy as apple pie! Can a lost baby elephant find happiness with a runaway goose? Cows Don't Fly was originally written for a versatile company of four actors who played a total of 15 characters, switching identities by pulling a hat or a prop out of the pouches they wear. If you want to spread the fun around, you can use more actors. Simple set. Approximate running time: 1 hour.
