The Gingerbread Players

Theatrical performance for those age 6 to 18.

Pocahontas

November 21-24, 2019

The ’Wordspinner’ and the rhythmic beat of the tom-toms open and close this charming musical adventure for all age groups.  Pocahontas is the daughter of the mighty Algonquin Chief Powhatan.  The princess delights in playing with Raven, Wolf, and Squirrel.  Pocahontas has also made friends with the English settlers of Jamestown, a community struggling with starvation and sickness.  This enchanting musical is graced with a wonderful cast of characters:  Little Running Rabbit, Brave Eagle, Aunt Morning Star, Forest Spirits, Mother Earth, and, of course, the people of Jamestown.  Filled with Native American lore and beautiful music, this play is true to the original legend.
