A Cow Named Cow is a hilarious new children's musical filled with hummable songs and catchy lyrics that teach us the importance of friends and family. When Cow is separated from his herd he meets both friend and foe and has to use teamwork to come up with a plan to stop a villain from taking over the world. This comedy is aimed to please both parents and children of all ages.

A Cow Named Cow is an original musical farce for children (and their parents) with book and lyrics by Michael MacKenzie Wills (creator/writer/director of the MAC Award winning Operation Opera and the New York Times recommended kid's show The Adventures of Superbunny), music by C. Colby Sachs (composer of the notorious Amy Fisher: The Musical), and based on the "You Color It" storybook series A Cow Named Cow by award winning author Amber L. Spradlin.

A Cow Named Cow is presented by Rabbit Hole Theatricks in association with Encompass New Opera Theatre as part of the Encompass Music & Film Festival - "Come to the festival and experience true stories from Africa, Kyrgyzstan, South America, New York City, Utah and more, all told through soul-stirring films and inspiring live musical performances."
