The Paper Bag Players prize winning
musical tells the history of the world in little more
than one hour, and does so amusingly and imaginative
and —most amazingly of all —truthfully."
— London Sunday Telegraph. This is a delightful
fantasy based on the Life Cycle, and is made up of ten
separate dramatic playlets. Each is a complete dramatic
entity on its own, dealing with themes of evolution
and culture. An enormously entertaining children's theater
piece of insight, imagination, wit and charm. The script
is profusely illustrated with designs for making props
and costumes from boxes and paper bags.

fat vs. thin, bringing up babies, and a family's pursuit
of an elusive Big Burger sign. This musical has enchanted
critics and audiences alike. "...brimful and zany.
They never underestimate their audience... There is
fun in it for everybody, everybody." —New

Written and designed by Judith Martin.
Music by Donald Ashwander. Eleven separate theater pieces
dealing with contemporary themes for children. Flexible
cast of four or more. The Kansas City Times best
describes this ingenious theater piece by stating: "Reasons
To Be Cheerful is delightful with yarns about a woman
who buys a bunch of uncooperative beans (they keep leaping
from the pot and dancing around the kitchen) to an instructive
skit in which the audience ends up instructing a stubborn
child to take her medicine if she wants to get well." |
