Our Newest Podcast Episode - "The Scarecrow"

An Original Musical Adaptation of Washington Irving's short story

Winking Kat Tales is excited to bring this fun, farcical, comedy to life. Just like the magic pipe gives the Scarecrow life 'of a sort', P. Haines-Ainsworth and Terence Levitt have given new life to this satirical folktale from the master American storyteller, Washington Irving. Like most of his stories, "The Scarecrow" takes place in the mysterious Catskill Foothills of upstate New York. It's a perfect story for these cool and colorful autumn days.

"The Scarecrow", book and lyrics by P. Haines-Ainsworth & music by Terence Alaric Levitt

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.
