Welcome to Greenwood! Greenwood: The Musical springs from the imagination of director and writer Ira Karp, a teenager with Down syndrome. “Greenwood” is the name of a farm on top of a hill, and it tells the story of its colorful inhabitants: Lucy and Edmund of Narnia; their secretary, Rockface; pregnant farm helper Rosemary and her husband, John Piper; ambulance driver Balthazar; Nurse Fifi; and Dr. Scrubb. Cows are milked, cheese is made, babies are born, holidays are celebrated, ambulances rescue people, and celebrities pop in for visits. It’s a musical soap opera that’s both mundane and magical—all told in Ira’s quirky, exuberant voice, with song and dance numbers inspired by nursery rhymes, Bread and Puppet shows, Broadway musicals, traditional folk songs, and pop hits.
