 Viorica is portrayed by several puppets which get bigger as the play progresses. Bear and Bear Cub are to be portrayed by puppets or projections or actors at the director's or designer's discretion.  The play is set in Romania.

Philip Osment’s magical play is funny, tender and true. Gabriel has to earn his stripes as a guardian angel to a poor orphaned girl as she grows up with her adoptive parents. Along the way he learns things about his own history and the real reason for his growing friendship with the little girl. Astonishing theatrical skills, including puppetry, live music and song combine to create this wondrous adventure, an unforgettable exploration of the joys and heartaches of living and loving.

A family show for audiences of 6+, Little Violet and the Angel won the Peggy Ramsay Award in the spring of 2001.
