"Future Seed" Two-Person Show Performing Near You

Donna & Mark Turner perform reader's theater on national tour, 2007.

      Mark and Donna are reviving their performance of "Future Seed" which was part of their national tour in 2007. It has received enthusiastic reception wherever it has been presented and now you can book it for your group.
A STORY FROM OUR ROOTS 
     The Turners tell this story in the vein of Garrison Keillor's "Lake Wobegon Days". It is all about a mid-western farming family transformed by the opportunity to act in risky faith and charity like their pioneer ancestors, by the gift of a trip to the Old World they are given and by the hostility it all generates from their neighbors.  
     Mark wrote the story speculating on characters like his own roots in Nebraska and Europe.
FOR ALL SEASONS
     The storytelling lasts about 40 minutes and sparks conversations which can also be part of the program. As the story deals with both spring planting and harvest it makes an excellent centerpiece for both seasons. There is even a version which brings out Christmas references.
     Available starting the end of November, the first booking is set for the December sixth Christmas dinner of the El Cajon Presbyterian women's group. Contact the Turners by e-mail, mark (at) horizongate.org to inquire about bookings.
