Henny Penny

Combining two familiar stories

When you have two fun and familiar stories about a chicken, we thought it would be doubly fun to mash-up the two stories together. Henny Penny features the tale of "The Little Red Hen" & the silly tale of "Chicken Little". More original music & the vocal talents of Ellen Dessler Smith, Arwen Dewey, Adrian Cerrato, & Max Lopuzynsky bring this new musical to life.

Our podcast

Winking Kat is a collection of original, musical, audio plays for all ages. We also feature interviews on topics associated with the stories. All our musicals are available for school, professional, or community theatre productions. Contact us for more info.

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.

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.
