INTERACTIVE COMEDY. Mother Goose’s son, Gary, embarks on a journey through Nursery Rhyme Land to save his mother from the clutches of Sly McSneakerson, who wants to steal all of Mother Goose’s nursery rhymes. On his quest to find the villain’s hideout, Gary seeks the help of Little Bo-Peep, Humpty Dumpty, Little Miss Muffet, and the Three Blind Mice, and he quickly discovers that these characters have big problems of their own! Can Humpty Dumpty put himself back together with the help of only one King’s man due to royal cutbacks? Will Little Bo-Peep always be known as the world’s worst shepherd? Will Little Miss Muffet ever be cured of arachnophobia? And will the Three Blind Mice realize that they are actually blind? Humor and hijinks abound in this entertaining play for young audiences.
