Synposis of the Show:  Every year on the First of May, everyone from town comes to hang their wishes on the Wishtree, Red. Red is a loving old oak tree, who houses many animal friends, including an energetic crow named Bongo. When a new family moves into the house next to Red, Red decides he must grant the young girls a wish with Bongo's help. Unfortunately, not everyone is as welcoming as the old oak tree. When hatred strikes, it's time for Red to take action. Will Red be able to grant her wish? Will Francesca, the landowner, decide to cut Red down? And how does it all connect to a young girl from Red's past? Find out in this World Premier of this heart-warming story of Red, some animal friends, and the people in the neighborhood.
