Now available for licensing through www.mtishows.com Are you part of a school/regional theatre/community theatre group that needs a family musical? If so, we urge you to check out DEAR EDWINA and DEAR EDWINA JUNIOR, our musicals available for licensing through MTI. Since 2001, MTI has licensed the shows to over 100 theatre companies/groups from Los Angeles to Chicago, and most recently Bahrain!
MTI's synopsis appears below: Thirteen year-old Edwina Spoonapple would do just about anything to be a part of the Kalamazoo Advice-a-palooza Festival. While her siblings both have proof up on the fridge of their accomplishments, poor Edwina has nothing. When a talent scout from the convention visits her hometown of Paw Paw, Michigan, she trots out her musical advice giving shows live from the family garage in hopes of finding her place in the spotlight. She is assisted by her older siblings (on piano and drums) and a host of quirky friends and neighbors: Becky, the perky cheerleader; Kelli, the cool, sophisticated ballerina; Annie, the girl-scout cookie-selling champion; the Vanderploonk triplets; Bobby, the befuddled new kid on the block; and Scott, who is helplessly and hopelessly in love with Edwina. Together they set out to tackle the world's problems, in number after hysterical number about everything from birthday party etiquette to the proper way to set a table (salad fork, fork, plate, knife, spoon).
This beguiling one-act charmer can be played anywhere, with extremely modest sets and costumes. Sweet, smart and tuneful, it appeals to audiences of all ages, as Edwina doles out advice, and finally learns to listen to some of it herself.
