Synopsis
Dr. Emma loves to measure weather (rumor has it that she owns 74 weather vanes). The Weather Show is the tale of Emma's exciting adventure across the land and through weather of every sort in search of a very special barometer. She faces all kinds of climatic obstacles (most of whom sing!)---threatening clouds, competing air masses, the Wind sisters, and a shower of cats and dogs. With the help of Ralph the Weather Dog and a groundhog who loves tongue twisters, she learns the significance of the water cycle, how weather makes the earth habitable, and how the elements of weather are all connected.

We are still in the rehearsal pages of the show, but so far the kids are loving it. Many of my students were in a Bad Wolf Press show in second grade, so they are used to the musical format. I enjoy doing your plays every year.

I'm in production with this show with two schools for this show, and have not performed them for an audience yet. But I have to say that the MUSIC for this show is WONDERFUL! My new favorites! They are more nuanced than other shows I've produced (Gold Dust or Bust, Coyote Steals the Summer, Anansi, Little Red Riding Hood) and really show new moods. Love it. The kids I'm working with are enjoying learning it. Older students really like the lines and characters. These shows really help grow student confidence and teacher and parent appreciation.
