Coyote Goes Salmon Fishing

Book and Lyrics by Deborah Brevoort/Music by Scott Davenport Richards.
A story about the creation of the world and the evolution of man. Five actors play eight characters ranging from Mosquitoes and Slugs to Brown Bears and Eagles taking the audience on a comic romp through the stages of life, including birth, coming of age, falling in love and death. Inspired by Saturday morning cartoons and trickster legends from world mythologies, Coyote Goes Salmon Fishing is suitable for audiences of all ages. Coyote Goes Salmon Fishing can be produced using a synthesizer, with the arrangements created by the composer. A fully arranged demo recording is available.

Winner, Frederick Loewe Award
