This happenin' history lesson presents a fresh perspective as to who, what, where, when and how this crazy planet and its people came to be.

Here is a troika of short, story-theatre plays that will take you on three very unusual journeys. First stop is a town where the cow-dreamer ran away... and we all know that without someone to dream cows there simply are no cows.
