The Little Farm Show @ State Theatre of Ithaca
2012-09-30
The Little Farm Show is an original musical theatre performance for all-ages created and performed by Tannis Kowalchuk and Brett Keyser. The actors play "The Amazing MacDonald Twins," a brother and sister team of side show performers who tour "The Greatest Show on Dirt!" from town to town. WHERE DOES YOUR FOOD COME FROM? NACL Theatre explores this question with an all-ages musical extravaganza about FARMING, FOOD, and the ENVIRONMENT. From the inception of the solar system, to sunset on Millicent's farm, the Magnificent MacDonald Twins give audiences a whirlwind tour of "The Greatest Show on Dirt!" THE LITTLE FARM SHOW kicks up some dirt with live music, and high-spirited performances. The play navigates through the history of agriculture from 10,000 BCE to today, exploring sustainability, local food systems, and organic farming. Steeped in history, philosophy, and a wheel barrow-full of information, THE LITTLE FARM SHOW will not only entertain, but will ask people to consider their food choices and the effect those decisions have on their bodies, the environment, and society.
