"Older kids will enjoy the latest in one of my favorite series, the Globalstage videos of outstanding theatrical productions. This one is "How Much Land Does a Man Need,"' based on a story by Leo Tolstoy. The actors perform on an open-air stage in front of Montana scenery so striking it makes its own case for the connection to the land. A poor sharecropper is able to buy a small plot of land, but instead of being satisfied, he becomes determined to become the largest landowner in the country. He learns some powerful lessons about greed that is a nice reminder after the holiday season about finding happiness in what we already have."
