Mountain Parks Foundation invites you to a theatrical fundraiser, “Tales of the Magic Redwood Forest,” a witty, whimsical 2-act play with proceeds to support our local California State Parks. Is there really magic in a forest? Are there fairies, princes, talking animals? Do witches and large furry creatures from times gone by roam the woods? Is the forest alive? This multi-layered comedy-fable tells the tale of one young lady who didn't care about trees or any sort of magical happenings and didn't do what she was told. And, ominously, she got lost in the Magic Redwood Forest...
Find out what happens along her journey at Park Hall, 9370 Mill Street in Ben Lomond, CA. Choose from two evening performances and one Sunday matinee on Friday, February 10 and Saturday, February 11 at 8:00pm, or Sunday, February 12 at 2:00pm. Ticket price to this fundraiser is $20 General Admission; $18 for Seniors, Students and MPF Discount Card Holders. Tickets can be purchased online beginning January 17 at www.mountainparks.org or by phone by calling (831) 335-3174. Proceeds from this event will help provide funding for visitor and nature center needs, natural and cultural history special events, professional interpretive staff, and supplies and resources used by the parks’ more than 200 volunteers and docents.
Writer and Director Doreen Devorah brings a wealth of experience to the local theater scene. She has written, directed and starred in theater productions from New York to Florida, New Mexico to Santa Cruz. Along the way, Doreen introduced English as a second language through theater productions in Europe, Mexico, and Latin America.
Since settling in Santa Cruz, Doreen has written and performed an original one-woman laugh and learn lecture called "Professor Starma Tours the Solar System" for local schools, private parties and in our State Parks. Doreen is the author of one novel, many short stories, and two plays; “Murder and Mayhem in Boulder Creek”, a melodrama based on actual events in Boulder Creek history, and “The After Christmas Carol”, a comic take on Charles Dickens’ classic holiday story.
Doreen is a docent at Big Basin Redwoods State Park where for the last ten years she has lead hikes, worked with school groups, and written, staged and acted in historical pieces depicting the struggles to preserve Big Basin, California’s oldest State Park.
Park Hall is located just off Highway 9 in Ben Lomond California, just 20 minutes from Santa Cruz. Take Highway 9 and drive to Ben Lomond. At the traffic light just over the bridge, you will see a supermarket where you will turn left onto Mill St. Park Hall is 1/2 block down on your right.
Mountain Parks Foundation, in cooperation with California State Parks, provides resources that enrich visitors’ experiences by expanding their knowledge and appreciation of the natural environment and cultural heritage of Henry Cowell and Big Basin Redwoods State Parks.
