Journey into the Appalachian Mountains in the award-winning musical that deftly weaves six traditional tales and original music into a keepsake quilt of mountain lore and wisdom for the whole family. Three “Jack tales” feature the resourceful, clever Jack who climbs a wonder-bean tree to find giants in the sky, who lands himself a job despite his foolishness and who wins the heart of Featherflight, the magical daughter of a devilish trickster. Catskins is a spunky Appalachian Cinderella. The Enchanted Tree is a beauty-and-the-beast love story between a lost girl and a frightening crow. And in a zany, sing-through, The Sow and Her Three Pigs, plucky Nancy the pig outsmarts the hungry fox. This musical play incorporates singing, mountain dances, music and giant puppets to create a highly theatrical, storytelling style. The score, which interweaves music throughout the tales, is inspired by old-time Appalachian music featuring fiddle and banjo that drives the play’s action and makes music itself a character in the play. Sing Down the Moon has enjoyed success on the professional, community, university and youth theater stages.
