Among the scenes were (clockwise from above) performers showing larger-than-life oracles, Turtle and Heron, a map of Rockbridge County; lead fox Marla Palma conspiring with fellow foxes Jasper Murphy and Ollie Fox; Larry Evans “voicing” the turtle; puppeteers Sarah Balcomb, Caroline Coons and Kirin Lattomus moving Maxine the puppet across the field; youth drummers, led by Martha Burford, providing a beat for dancers; Lacey Lynch leading the Rockbridge Youth Chorale in an original song; Liam Murphy and Eliana Khoshpasand performing as little flying moths; and Halestone dancers surrounding the Heron oracle during the show’s prologue.
