Synopsis:
The Jungle Book is about a young man-cub, named Mowgli, who is raised by wolves in the jungles of India. Mowgli goes to school and learns the rules of the jungle from Baloo, the bear, and Bagheera, the Jaguar. Mowgli and his animal friends work together to defeat the evil tiger, Shere Khan and the comical Bander Log (which are the Hindi words for The Monkey People ). In the end Mowgli is reunited with his human mother or mataji in a heartwarming scene in which Mowgli recognizes the physical similarities between himself and Messua, his mother.

Top of PageSecret Garden, The
Synopsis:
What makes this version so powerful is the addition of The Garden Tree. The Garden Tree symbolizes the healing and forgiving power of nature. Played by a woman, The Garden Tree moves subtly in relation to the action on stage. When Colin starts to walk, she gives him support with her branches, when Mary dances with joy, The Garden Tree rains petals on her shoulders, etc. In addition, the original costume design included subtle transformations from scene to scene, so that the tree began bare in the cold winter months and grew lush with spring.
