in this modern, innovative, Cool and hip show for kids,
A physical theater comedy for five actors , live music,
And lots of musical instruments.
"This show is magic. It's a gem. Reccomended for anyone who has
a child or better yet- anyone who looks to fill their hearts and be
thrilled. Surprise is the word that comes to mind. To an almost empty
stage enter three musicians and a Bear. The surprise is how in
seconds, that almost empty stage captivates the audience for the
next hour. The show is exciting, funny, sad, and kept all kids and
adults on the edge of their seats. The actors are filled with tiny
nuances, physically, vocally. The music, all played live, including
all sound effects- is like another character on stage.
The set is intelligently used, its movement on stage is clean and
exact. All is done so well and just in the right amount and manner,
and the music, oh! The music!!"Saloona website
"Everything on stage looks and sound superb. The three musicians
/ storytellers, the actors who portray Bear and Mouse are all brilliant.
The audience- young and not so young were enthralled and could
relate to Bear. They were glad to see that in friendship- even when
its tough at times, it is well worth it." Woman magazine
"This show was created by extremely gifted people. It is an amazing
concoction of story telling and music. The music drives the plot,
creating emotional worlds, supporting the story and at times equal
to it. The story tellers/musicians are at times a reflection of Bear,
at times a reflection of the audience. This is not a conservative show,
it is funky and filled with groove, creating a happy, feel good
musical-story-telling performance, that feels like a classic." The Stage website
