Moving on from the ABCs, the cursing puppets give life lessons in race relations, sex ed, technology, homelessness, under and unemployment, and introduce vocabulary terms like “schadenfreude” with a lot of laughs. And, the most important lesson of all, friendship and love.

The award winning musical having made its debut in 2003, continues to resonate in 2011 telling the story of starry-eyed big city newcomers looking to make their mark and find their purpose. The fast paced staging and sparkling toe tapping tunes with a touch of cynicism riffs your favorite after-school specials. Performed by a tight cast voicing multiple characters, the actors breath life into their oversized puppets and alter egos.
