SUMMARY:The Boy Who Grew Flowers
DESCRIPTION:Treehouse Shakers’ The Boy Who Grew Flowers\nBased on the Barefoot Books’ Picture Book By Jen Wojtowicz\nPlay Adaption by Mara McEwin\nSeptember 22-24\, 2022\nThe Boy Who Grew Flowers is a stunning visual performance for audiences for ages 5-10 and their families. Adapted from Barefoot Books’ bestselling picture book by Jen Wojtowicz\, play adaption by Mara McEwin and choreographed by Emily Bunning\, it is the story of a young boy\, Rink Bowagon\, who lives on top of Lonesome Mountain with his unusual family of rattlesnake tamers and shape-shifters. The townspeople agree that Rink’s family are quite strange\, but they are unaware of Rink’s spectacular gifts. Whenever the moon is full\, Rink sprouts beautiful flowers from his head. When a new girl\, Angelina\, moves to town\, Rink’s life truly begins to grow. Incorporating puppetry\, original music\, and movement\, The Boy Who Grew Flowers is a thoughtful and magical story that lends itself to themes of diversity\, creating empathy & celebrating individualism. \nThe play is presented in The Umbrella Arts Center’s newly constructed\, state-of-the-art new mainstage Theater144 as part of the 30th anniversary celebrations for Concord-based global multicultural children’s publisher\, Barefoot Books. A concurrent visual arts exhibition\, Barefoot Books: 30 Years\, 30 Artists\, will be on display over two floors of The Umbrella Arts Gallery from September 9-25\, 2022. \nThis program was originally commissioned by and developed at The Performing Arts Center at Purchase College\, Purchase\, New York\, Director Seth Soloway is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council\, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York Legislature\, and Individual Contributions to Treehouse Shakers.
