Weslandia, the Musical

You are a kid in sixth grade. You march to your own drummer, totally.You don't like pizza or soda. You don't play video games or like to go to birthday parties or sleepovers. You worry about global warming. You have no friends in your class this year. Actually you have never had friends in any class any year, only tormentors.

Even your parents think you're strange. They try to bribe you to get a Mohawk haircut so you would be more like the other kids, but you're not. You're just yourself. One day you decide to plant a staple crop and see if you can start your own civilization like the ancient Greeks….which makes everyone think you're weirder than ever. You're Wesley Woods, the main character in a picture book and now a new musical called WESLANDIA.

Comes complete with obnoxious kids, nosy neighbors, the 'Seeds of Civilization' chorus and a dancing, blues-singing staple crop .
