We Love Trees

Trudi Cohen and John Bell teamed up with Boston-based musicians Marji Gere and Dan Sedgwick to create a new Toy Theater show called "We Love Trees."

It was premiered at Marji and Dan's "Around Hear" concert series, at Mystic Housing Center in Somerville, MA, together with an ambitious program of tree-themed music and poetry.

We are eager to offer the show to green space advocacy groups in the Boston area and beyond.

Performances at Pontine Theater

Great Small Works enjoyed our weekend at Pontine Theatre in Portsmouth, NH!

We performed a program consisting of:

     "Oda a las Cosas," a cranky from the poem by Pablo Neruda

     "Lyzer the Miser," a table-top all-ages story by Isaac Bashevis Singer

     "Toy Theater of Terror As Usual, Episode 14: The Swamp," our newest episode in the long-standing series, in which we muck around in the slime and stench which is the swamp.

     "Three Graces," a large banner show (or cantastoria) honoring Grace Paley, Grace Kelly, Grace Jones and Grace Lee Boggs.

Pontine recently relocated to a restored 1845 one-room schoolhouse. Marguerite Mathews and Greg Gathers have been generous stewards of this company for 40 years. Thank you, Pontine Theatre!
