An ancient oak stands on property earmarked for development into a children's playground. A public meeting is held to discuss cutting down the three hundred year old tree. Members of the council are then seen inside the tree in their equivalent animal forms to show how this will affect the inhabitants of the tree. In the end, the audience is asked to vote on the fate of the ancient oak.

FEE: $75 per performance.
