Cows Don't Fly and Other Known Facts
"What a delightful play! I was in stitches the whole time, and so were the children around me. 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." —Appalachian Young Peoples Theatre, North Carolina
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.
