Eight surfin’ songs in the style of the Beach Boys during the ‘60s surfing scene make this musical both singable <strong>and</strong><br />
loveable. Old Italian immigrant, Luigi Barone, owns the Surfin’ Burger hangout on the best surfing beachfront on Kahuna<br />
Beach in California. Wily l<strong>and</strong> developers want to buy (or steal) Luigi’s property from him, but the teen surfers, the aging<br />
beatnicks (who speak in poetry with bongo drums) <strong>and</strong> the birdwatchers find the way to keep Luigi’s dream alive. Songs<br />
include: "Surf’s Up," "The American Dream," "Riptide," "Hey, Little Girl," "Shocka Bra," "She’s-a My<br />
L<strong>and</strong>" <strong>and</strong> more. A captivating story with many excellent roles. Love, hope, laughs, suspense <strong>and</strong><br />
hi-jinks. Easy to stage.<br />

All h<strong>and</strong>s on deck! Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story of The Little Mermaid is adapted into a musical <strong>and</strong><br />
revamped to tell the story as if it were happening today. Poseidon’s daughters are giddy for their sixteenth birthdays.<br />
When a royal mermaid turns sixteen, her voice comes into full bloom. As if that wasn’t enough to get a fifteen-year-old<br />
mermaid excited, she also gets to visit the surface to see what life is like out of the ocean. But there are some bad<br />
barnacles out there who want to spoil the fun. Colorful <strong>and</strong> energetic dialogue is paired with fast-paced music to tell<br />
the story of the mermaids’ adventures ashore. Music includes: “Oh to Go to the Ocean,” “Mermaid’s Voice,”<br />
“The Sailor’s Life for Me,” “Villain’s Lair,” “Who Needs Love,” “More to See than the Sea” <strong>and</strong> many more. Large<br />
cast with many parts for actors of all ages <strong>and</strong> abilities.<br />

A new kind of classic cowboy-country comedy with a wide variety of zany Western characters. Lucy Canary, the mayor’s<br />
daughter, loves Lester Goodbe, a likeable cowboy. But Lucy’s father insists that she marry Otis Lackginger, a rich, old<br />
coot with one foot in the grave. Lucy pretends to lose her voice to stall the marriage, <strong>and</strong> everyone goes on a search to<br />
find a doctor to cure her. And what a passel of phony medics they find! The climax is the funniest operation scene ever<br />
witnessed – the doctors take it all out <strong>and</strong> put it all back! Add nine delightfully original bluegrass <strong>and</strong> country music songs<br />
to this wildly witty comedy <strong>and</strong> you have theatrical magic! Songs include: “Is There a Doctor in the House?” “Who’s<br />
Talkin’ ‘Bout Love?” “We Belong Together,” “Love Is the Best Dang Doctor,” “Medicine Show Today,” “The<br />
Professional Way” <strong>and</strong> more. If Moliére could see this farce in “Western” style he’d laugh himself silly! Only one set.<br />
Zany Western costumes. The show is a supernova of fun – the audience will love it. Recommended for performers of any age.<br />
