Mollie & the Last Bookworm

This is a very clever show. Mollie hates to read. In anger one day, she tosses a stack of books into the air and pages fly out everywhere. Suddenly, a pudgy bookworm enters in a frantic fit, followed by a pack of characters from all the books Mollie threw. He tells her that they only have one hour to get all the stories back in order or the characters will be taken away forever by the evil Plagaria, ruler of the wasteland of Publicdomania. What follows is a madcap race through sections of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, TOM SAWYER, OLIVER TWIST, WIZARD OF OZ, and HANSEL AND GRETEL. Pure musical magic for all.
