a peek
into the wonderland of childhood imagination!
One
Summer Evening
four
young people don't want to go home just
yet. One invents a game of "Wish Upon a Star," which
demands that each friend tell a life story in which the others can
take roles and the help each other achieve their wish.
"A
marvelous play for children! My
high school students enjoyed
performing (and directing) it as much as our
audience enjoyed seeing it. Great for revitalizing
imaginations."

Andy wishes himself into
space through a dangerous asteroid belt to an undiscovered planet and
becomes a hero in a battle against its space-age enemies!
"Imagine!
A bike so powerfully
fast that it zooms
like a rocket and only I, Andrew the Brave, the pilot of the
Super Duper Inner Galactic Star Chaser
can guide it safely through the terrible meteor forest! Ready crew?" --
Andy
Ernie
wishes he had
a twin to help him solve his everyday problems with school work. His
wish is granted until he discovers his unique talents and chooses to
be independent again.
And finally, Tracey, who
struggles to be "normal" in her family of flamboyant
artists finds that vision improves when horses really can be blue.

Each
character's story helps him or
her to understand and help one another with the trials and
tribulations of growing up. Through imagination and participation,
they see things they'd missed before: small triumphs and the beauty
of friendship.
"Imagination
is what it is all about! My
high
school cast
came
alive with
energy, creativity
and movement!
The
children in the audience were
mesmerized!"

A
Great Review for Blue Horses!

an age of profound growth
and anxiety about who
