Old Befana

The script and lively music by Ken Lonnquist, is a Yuletide / Epiphany tale based upon the old Italian legend about a grumpy old woman who flies with her broom in search of a special child. Sound a bit witchy? Well, yes, she is! But her story has the capacity to touch your heart with a very significant message.

Ken Lonnquist is a stand out musician in WI, particularly when it comes to his creative work involving kids & family music which includes numerous albums and musicals. "Old Befana" is one of his classics.
