Summary

This is an engaging children's participation play that has toured to great success and received enthusiastic notices from teachers and administrators as well as students. It's an imaginative trip through the human body, with the cast members playing a forgetful brain, a grumbling stomach, a corny, vaudevillian pair of lungs. There's even a shoot-out between the evil Germs and the good guy, Antibody! Nutrition, emotions and valuable health tips are presented in a guaranteed painless teaming process.
