Golden Voices Robin Miles and Dion Graham start the evening
-- along with an audience volunteer or two -- with a performance of family tales for young children (ages 4-8).
The Bunny family has adopted a wolf son, and daughter Dot is the only one who realizes Wolfie can--and might--eat them all up!
Dot tries to get through to her parents, but they are too smitten to listen.
A new brother takes getting used to, and when (in a twist of fate) it's Wolfie who's threatened, can Dot save the day?
In One Day In the Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Tree a sneaky snake has no idea that the captives in his belly are planning their escape!
