Coyote Goes Salmon Fishing
Music by Scott Davenport Richards
A story about the creation of the world and the evolution of man. Five actors play eight characters ranging from Mosquitoes and Slugs to Brown Bears and Eagles taking the audience on a comic romp through the stages of life, including birth, coming of age, falling in love and death. Inspired by Saturday morning cartoons and trickster legends from world mythologies, the story of Coyote Goes Salmon Fishing is not a Native American myth nor is it a children’s show. Suitable for audiences of all ages.
Coyote Goes Salmon Fishing can be produced using a synthesizer, with the arrangements created by the composer. A fully arranged demo tape is available.
Awards: Frederick Loewe Award. (more…)
Goodbye My Island
Music by David Friedman
Goodbye My Island tells the story of the forced removal of the King Islanders from their home in the Bering Sea of Alaska by the US Government in 1963. This true story, which was fictionalized by Alaskan author Jean Rogers in her book of the same title, is told through the eyes of different community members who experienced the loss of their home, community and culture. Many of the characters in Goodbye My Island are also in King Island Christmas. Although inspired by a historical event, Goodbye My Island is a work of fiction. Currently scored for piano.
