The Legend of Pocahontas

Directed by Panda Allen

Assistant Director Sherie Duvall-Buchanan

Hi-ya-ya-hi-ya. Listen to the tom-tom drums and the message spoken by the "Wordspinner" that opens and closes this charming adventure suitable for all age groups. The name Pocahontas, belonging to the daughter of the powerful Algonquin Chief Powhatan, means "She-Who-Likes-To-Be-Mischievous." It's a fitting name, because the princess enjoys playing tricks and games, especially with Wolf, Raven and Squirrel, her playmates in the forest. She also makes friends with the English settlers in the struggling community of Jamestown. They have no food, and sickness has almost wiped them out. Pocahontas would like to help them, but Thundercloud, the medicine man, forbids it. When Captain John Smith, the leader of Jamestown, comes to the Indian village, he is condemned to death. In a thrilling scene, Princess Pocahontas saves his life and finds a way for the Indians and the settlers to live in harmony and friendship. This colorful play features a wonderful cast of characters: Little Running Rabbit, Brave Eagle, Aunt Morning Star, Forest Spirits, Mother Earth and the people of Jamestown. Filled with Native American lore and true to the original legend, it's an entertaining and fascinating page from our country's history that glows with excitement and warmth.
