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

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