Ferdinand the Bull
Adapted from the story by Munro Leaf
Play and lyrics by Karen Zacarias
Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma
Even the youngest children will be enchanted by this sweet tale of a Spanish bull that would rather take care of his flowers than fight! The score incorporates a variety of Spanish musical styles, including flamenco guitar, and the pun-filled dialogue includes lots of Spanish vocabulary words. In this fun and imaginative adaptation, including a pig named Cochina who wants to be a star, and a young matador who would rather be a dancer, everyone learns to be true to themselves.
MooPig has a severe boredom problem with what others are all talking about currently ... and in context of current events, nothing very much excites old MooP... It turns out MooPig, with Moo on the outside, spends most of his days grazing lazily on clover and pansies, picking a petal or leaf with a snuff from his big bull nose, saying, "She loves me ... she hates me... she loves me ... she hates me."
As each petal disappears into the production of Bull Stuff, each new thought has origin in that rhythm of cutting, and pudding.
Next time you look at R M Nixon from the old days, after Watergate, ... use the imprint of the old, lovesick, torn bull on the pasture, a stones' throw from the action, pining away the hours, ignoring the present.
Lost his will to fight, forever, retiring and growing older in the passing of hours.

So I'm going to talk about Tiger Woods this year...he says the fist pumps keep him focused and calm.
And I thought it meant "Take that you little white dimpled darling, you."
