Annual Spring Concert

The Unity Tree is a fun, lighthearted musical for young children, and it has an important message (as most of our musicals do). This time, the message is one of peace and unity. The cats in Catville and the dogs in Dogburg learn how to get along when Puppy and Kitten become friends. Cats and dogs are famous for their conflict and rivalry, even though it isn’t always clear why it even exists. The point is, they learn to let go of the past and to live and work together peacefully. What more valuable lesson could we hope to teach our students through music than one of peace?
