Monkey and Francine in the City of Tigers

Mother Nature packs a powerful message with her depiction of the natural world. Combining ecology with mythology, Mother Nature and her friend, The Fairy Queen, teach the importance of preservation. After being informed by the Fairy Queen that some “animal” is harming our ecosystems, Mother Nature heads off to [your town] to find the offending mammal. Northeast habitats such as a pond, a forest and the seashore are depicted using both indigenous animal and imaginary “fairy life”. Through stories, dance and improvisation, emphasis is placed on how humans impact various ecosystems and how conservation is our responsibility.
