The New London Barn Playhouse is going on tour! For the first time ever, New London Barn Playhouse has commissioned a new musical for our touring production.
Inspired by local author Kathy Lowe’s story, Tommer’s Earthly Friends ,12 year-old Tommer moves to rural New Hampshire from the city with his dad. He has a hard time fitting in with the other kids but encounters creatures in nature that help him discover new perspectives on life and the world around him. These creatures also help Tommer learn how to take care of the earth so nature can be there for all living creatures.
This musical explores themes of change, friendship, fitting in, grief, and the wonders of nature. The musical will feature original songs , large and small scaled puppets , Muti layered projections, and interactive storytelling . Also we will be offering workshops led by the author Kathy Lowe and the cast !
This Fall 2025, schools and other organizations around New Hampshire can bring our professional production of Tommer’s Earthly Friends to students during the school day.
