Join us for a family performance of one of Barefoot Books' bestselling books!
The Manhattan-based dance and theater group, The Treehouse Shakers is coming to The Umbrella to perform their 45 minute theatrical adaptation of The Boy Who Grew Flowers, a heartwarming story about empathy and kindness for ages 5-10. Adapted from the picture book by Mara McEwin and choreographed by Emily Bunning, it is the story of a young boy, Rink Bowagon, who lives on top of Lonesome Mountain with his unusual family of rattlesnake tamers and shape-shifters. The townspeople agree that Rink’s family are quite strange, but they are unaware of Rink’s spectacular gifts. Whenever the moon is full, Rink sprouts beautiful flowers all over his body. When a new girl, Angelina, moves to town, Rink’s life truly begins to grow.
