Program Description
The Boy Who Grew Flowers, based on the picture book by Jennifer Wojtowicz, written and adapted by Mara McEwin and choreographed by Emily Bunning, 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 from his head. When a new girl, Angelina, moves to town, Rink’s life truly begins to grow. The Boy Who Grew Flowers is a delightful and thoughtful story that lends itself to exposing young people to diversity, navigating adversity, creating empathy and celebrating individualism. The Boy Who Grew Flowers, thematically celebrates the differences among us, while artistically and visually exploring varying theatrical styles.
