How To Eat Like A Child ::
How to Eat Like a Child (and Other Lessons in Not Being a Grown
Up) is
a collection of songs and sketches that provide a guide to the art of being
a child told by children strictly from their point of view. Let your young
teachers instruct you in kid basics, from how to eat a sack lunch to how to
drive your sister crazy, as only kids can explain it.
The play is a musical celebration of kids being kids, addressing not only the
peculiar ways they eat, but the strategies they employ to fight back against
much bigger and overpowering odds -- namely parents and other adults.
Directed By: Laurie
Martinez-Lessman ~Based on the book by
Delia Ephron
Written by Ephron, John Forster and Judith Kahan, with music and lyrics by John
