This family-friendly production features live cello melodies directed by Andrea Washington and was created by Nicole Atkins along with students from Kennesaw State University. In *Opossum and the Season Stone*, Opossum anxiously contemplates the changes that winter will bring, while Raccoon worries about her friend’s reluctance to prepare.
