Widely flexible cast (minimum 7 m, 5 w, chorus)
From the day we're hatched to the day we spread our wings and fly on our own, there are a series of requisite, riotous rites of passage that must be experienced. This collection of humorous scenes and hummable songs explores the innocent squawk of infancy, the terrible twos, the treacherous teens, and everything in between. There are tactics for dealing with those who endeavor to shape, stretch and warp our minds and bodies, like gym teachers, substitute teachers and those cafeteria culinary queens, "The Little Lunch Ladies." From the angst of acne, adolescence, and part-time jobs, to the dangers of driver's ed. and dealing with the dreaded kid sister, this is a hilarious, high-flying adventure. This musical soars with laughter and uplifting songs like: "Happy Birthday to Me," "Baby, Baby, We're Babies," "School Daze," "The Teenage Tango" and the tribute to the parents who give us roots and wings, "Thank You."
