Audience Age
3-12 years old
Moccasin Stew tells the story of a not-so-wily Coyote, who is always outwitted by the creatures he wants to eat. The cast includes Hank, the rabbit chef; a Bluefish who sings the blues; a tricky Magic Fish; and a clever Quail who fools Coyote time and time again. The audience changes the scenery with a magic chant, assists Hank in his gourmet cooking, and helps the Quail make key decisions. Moccasin Stew teaches lessons in forgiveness and resourcefulness.
