How can one friend become many?
In a quiet world, simply constructed from cylinders of all shapes and sizes, we meet a very shy boy and witness how he makes a friend with the assistance of his ball. This nonverbal performance is a wondrous tale of reassurance, joy and connection...with a little visual magic.

Abetted by generous vulnerability and simple cardboard plus tennis balls, made this production an exemplar of how to reach a very young audience in such a way they are both engaged and deeply enthralled.
