A hilarious 90 minutes of genuinely funny observations of our collective
youth: Toughskin jeans, Jiffy Pop popcorn, Kool-aid stands and more! This
one-man 'Show & Tell' promises to "feed the belly as well as the
spirit." It’s an infectiously charming, fast-paced, hilarious
production that takes you back to a simpler time in life - when candy was
currency and the most dangerous kid in school carried a "switch-comb."
THE WONDER BREAD YEARS offers you a chance to return to your childhood;
it's an evening of pure escapism, where you have permission to think and
act like a kid. Green army men rule, Etch-A Sketch is king and things that
don't go your way are a "gyp." This classic material makes you
crave the taste of space food sticks and revisit the faint scar from a lawn
dart injury.
