Synopsis
Based on innovative programs throughout the United States, this play places a recently arrested inner-city boy in an alternative to jail with an Appalachian horse whisperer for a chance to learn trust, patience and self-worth by helping to tame a wild mustang. This highly theatrical, poetic play is suitable for upper-elementary through high-school audiences. Spirit Shall Fly explores the unlikely coming together of Trey, a 14-year-old hardened by the streets; Clara, a trainer with an uncanny ability with horses, but little faith in herself with people; and Anima, a furious, frightened mustang taken from the wild world he knows. All three long to break free from their personal prisons and journey, perhaps together, toward wholeness. The music includes three vocal melodies with chord notation. The ensemble underscores the emotion and pace of the play with improvised percussion (wood poles), wood flute and simple guitar accompaniment. Music in book.
