SYNOPSIS:
Josh Baskin is sick of being an awkward kid. At a carnival,
he makes a wish to the Zoltar machine to become "big".
To his shock, his wish is granted. After an understandably
awkward beginning, Josh is forced to do "adult" things
like getting a job and a girlfriend. In the end he discovers
there's much more to being an adult than he's bargained
for, and learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in
our own time.

mind, spirit, and innocence of a 13-year-old trapped in
the body of a 30-year-old; tenor.
Young Josh Baskin: Male, obscure, seventh grade pre-
teen who is frustrated by his parents and his age;
unchanged voice.
Billy Kopecki: Male, Josh's best and most supportive

Waiter, There Are Fangs in My Soup! – Larissa
Culaard, the wife of Vladimir Culaard, an
overworked bio-tech executive, has organized a
masquerade ball that is a masquerade in every
sense of the word. In reality, this business
party is really going to be an intervention
designed to confront Vladimir with his
workaholic ways and their impact upon his
family. Some eccentric relatives from the old
country are present and the entire event
backfires when someone drives a stake into the
heart of Vladimir.
The ticket price includes the show, a three
course dinner, and unlimited soft drinks.
Admission by reservation only. Please call the
restaurant to make your reservations.
