Misty the Little Lost Cloud: A Live Stage Comedy or Story Book for Children

By Florence Novelli and Bernard Aaron (Composer)

“A summer storm disrupts Anna’s picnic with her animal friends. The North Wind blows Misty, a little cloud, down to earth. Anna, Albert the peacock, and audiences try in vain to help Misty back into the sky. Saucer Eyes, the owl offers his counsel in return for a gift which must please him. But when the gift does not please the owl, his answer is given in a riddle. This is solved and with the South Wind’s help, the North Wind is taught a lesson. Misty returns to the sky leaving Anna and her friends to continue their picnic.”

Misty, the little lost cloud, is grounded by the egotistical North Wind. It is the gentler powers of the South Wind and her earthly friends, both human and animal, that teach him (and the audience) the value of all God’s creations. They use magic and trickery to achieve this in a whirlwind of action, music and humour.

The audience participates throughout both plays. They are depended upon for information and opinions, an interaction that establishes an effective communication between themselves and the character.

Both plays have been performed in Toronto, and the playwright and the composer are experienced in their respective fields. The text provides everything necessary for production, including the music scores.
