“Mimosa, book and lyrics by Lauren Kahane and music by Danny Ursetti. Featuring performances by Diana Huey, Shereen Pimentel, Christine Toy Johnson, Tuan Malinowski, and BB Stone. Mimosa is a plant with a special gift: she can dance. Mom begs her to stop, concerned that she could be noticed by a human.
