ACT 1 — Scenes 1-4

Eleven-year-old Twyla doesn't want to go to school on this winter day, so Grandpa comes to cheer her up with some good old Mother Goose. As Grandpa says, “...it’s everyone's favorite time of year: Christmastime in Candyland.”

In the midst of an active to-do list including winter garden cultivation and plans for their upcoming yuletide nuptials, Mary, Quite Contrary & Tom, Tom, the Piper’s Son are not too busy to dance! Do you recognize their Storybook friends? Little Bo Peep & Boy Blue; Jack & Jill, who else? And, the Gumdrops! (The candy dances around here.).
