Synopsis:In this delightful story first published in 1915, we meet a kind woman to whom nothing in the world sounds more delicious than an apple dumpling. She sets out one day with a basket full of plums in search of some apples with which to make her supper. Along the way she meets a colorful assortment of people who make trades with the woman to help fill their needs, and we learn that when you give selflessly to others, you often end up with what you most desire.
Adapted for the stage as a way to gently encourage young actors (ages 5-9) who are just discovering this performing art form, learning to read, and to help them find a new outlet for creativity!

Have you ever wondered what really happens backstage during a show? The 3rd Tree From The Left flips the normal way an audience watches a show and allows the audience the unique perspective of watching the antics that go on backstage.
Our story follows Lena who has been doing theater for years. She’s never had a big role and, in fact, she was just cast as the 3rd tree from the left in the latest community theater show. This is the smallest, most insignificant role in the whole show. In the course of the show, Lena consequently, spends a whole lot of time backstage and not in the spotlight. But, Starla McLeod got the lead role (of course she did...with a name like Starla.) Watch the drama unfold backstage, including a Shakespearean battle of wits, a last-minute costume disaster, and massive case of stage fright! They’ll all need to work together – the actors, singers, techies, the stage manager, and even the director – to pull this show off!
If you think what happens on the stage is dramatic, you should see what goes on behind the scenes!
