Arcani & the Tree of Dreams

For ages 5 and up

Inspired by a Bolivian folktale about a boy who dreams a different life than the one he seemed destined to live.

Who is 'El Vagabundo del Mundo'?

In the story, Arcani meets an unusual man - a healer who travels the world gathering plants to use as medicine to help others. He offers to teach Arcani about the plants and their uses, but the mayor of the town only sees Arcani as a poor & ignorant boy. In the end, Arcani has the opportunity to demonstrate his potential to become a healer & a respected member of the village.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at pat@winkingkattales.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Can I find Winking Kat Tales on Apple Podcasts and other podcast apps?

Yes! Winking Kat Tales is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts and more. You can also listen on Dramafy.com, a network of audio drama/theatre podcasts.

Where do the stories come from?

Our musical stories are written by P. Haines- Ainsworth (an actor, teacher, and director) and music is written by Terence Alaric Levitt. Some stories come from original ideas, but others are adapted from classic folktales and fairytales from around the world.

Do you make books of the stories, too?

We are working on that. We have been asked about it many times, but it is difficult to tell these stories without the fun songs and the music Terry writes for them. We hope to make them into animatics or, perhaps interactive e-books soon.
