Relive the crazy days <strong>and</strong> the hip music of the ’60s. Relive the Flower People of the decade that changed everything!<br />
The hippies, the mystics, the protestors. Starpetal <strong>and</strong> her Flower Power girls’ b<strong>and</strong> start a student sit-in protest at<br />
Valley High. When the school principal denies their request for an in-school battle-of-the-b<strong>and</strong>s the flower children try<br />
for a park permit to raise money for their Hug-A-Tree Foundation. They’re denied again. Frustrated, they make it<br />
happen at Ole MacDonald’s farm. Hippie Shreddy Freddy, the mystic Maharishi, Bruiser <strong>and</strong> his bikers, <strong>and</strong> Max King,<br />
the famous record promoter, all get drawn into the excitement that becomes the Cornstalk Music Festival. Though it<br />
begins with Flower Power, the girls’ b<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> Peter, Paul <strong>and</strong> Harry, the boys’ b<strong>and</strong>, it’s The Kooks, a top<br />
British rock group, that really spark the festivities. The show features many original ’60s-style rock numbers<br />
including: “Flower Power!,” “The Hippie Generation,” “Makin’ It Happen,” “Liberated Women,” “We’re<br />
the Bad Guys” <strong>and</strong> more. The show has rock music throughout. Everything gets wild when the crazy bikers invade<br />
the event, but Big Mama knows how to tame them <strong>and</strong> calm the crowd. Lighting effects, a psychedelic backdrop, silly<br />
face makeup <strong>and</strong> the groovy clothing of the era all contribute to make this a memorable show. Call us to request a<br />
free CD sampler of the music. Ask for Order #R-S42 (free CD).<br />

Murder<br />
cD Sampler<br />
Spooky, suspenseful, but mostly funny. This kinky spoof of TV’s<br />
“Private Eye” shows of the fifties features Hercules Porridge, the<br />
famous Hoboken detective. Whodunit? Was it Jeeves, the butler?<br />
Anguish Crispie, the mystery writer? Rebecca Fitzwilliam, the<br />
l<strong>and</strong>lady of Crooked House? Or one of the other oddball<br />
houseguests? Lots of zany action as the eccentric Colonel<br />
Chutney keeps attacking the house with his “Victorian<br />
Regiment.” Lots of clever songs add to the suspense <strong>and</strong> the<br />
hilarity: “Murder at Crooked House,” “On a Dark <strong>and</strong><br />
Stormy Night,” “Whodunit?” “Chutney’s Fighting<br />
Ragtime B<strong>and</strong>” <strong>and</strong> more! A different kind of show for a large<br />
cast. Requires only one set. Many excellent roles.<br />
