Description: This adventure tells the enchanting story of a group of city kids who discover a beautiful house and garden in the middle of their cement and broken glass environment. But they are chased off by the selfish giant, Gorgon, who places a "No Trespassing" sign on the gate. Because of his selfishness, the elements of Frost, Snow, and Hail invade his garden and transform it into a place where Spring is banished. One of the children, a crippled child named Chris, returns to the garden and treats the giant with love and understanding. This softens the giant's heart. This play, with its strong resurrection theme, is ideally suited for the Easter season.
