Performed by an ensemble of both child and adult actors, this tale of hope will inspire all ages, creating a new holiday tradition! Every winter, Maya listens to her grandmother’s stories of a world that used to be: filled with snow and trees. But from her desert homeland it’s hard to believe in these memories. So, headstrong Maya embarks on a fantastic adventure to find the Earth’s last living evergreens and bring back proof…
“Peter Mills can knit together a scene as neatly as any librettist around, spin out lyrics with a beguiling mix of cleverness and feeling, and (stop the presses!) conjure tunes you can hum on the way out the door!”
– Time Out New York
