Show description:
A certain man had a donkey, which had carried the corn-sacks to the mill untiringly for many
a long year. But the donkey's strength was going and the man thought it best that his old
friend Donkey retire…
RETIRE?! Not THIS Donkey! He's still got a lot of livin' to do! Donkey packs up his retirement
gift, a Golden Harmonica, and sets out to Bremen Town to become a street musician.
On the road Donkey meets up with a dog, a cat, and the most rock a' doodlin' of roosters.
Each of his new pals fears that their end is near, until Donkey convinces them to join him on
the road. Together they become The Bremen Town Band.
Join the Band as they journey toward Bremen Town, discovering that life can be full of thrills
and surprises. Living each moment to its fullest, you never know what tomorrow will bring.
Show length: approximately 40 minutes
It is designed for the "whole child," to help enhance kids’ visual and performing arts abilities
as well as physical fitness levels, life skills, and decision making processes.
