CGiii Comment

It would be too easy to condemn this as a school production...true, but that would be unnecessarily cruel.

The enthusiasm is contagious - there are a few iffy scenes...but, the sheer passion of everyone involved propels it towards its happy end.

Seriously...bravery is the brains behind a musical and, here, that bravery shines through.

The(ir) Blurb...

If you had a love-potion, who would you make fall madly in love with you? Timothy, prone to escaping his dismal high school reality through dazzling musical daydreams, gets to answer that question in a very real way. After his eccentric teacher casts him as Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream, he stumbles upon a recipe hidden within the script to create the play's magical, purple love-pansy. Armed with the pansy, Timothy's fading spirit soars as he puckishly imposes a new reality by turning much of his narrow-minded town gay, beginning with the rugby-jock of his dreams. Ensnaring family, friends and enemies in this chaos, Timothy forces them to walk a mile in his musical shoes. The course of true love never did run smooth; it's a bumpy ride.
