Reasons To Be Cheerful – Script

Written and designed by Judith Martin. Music by Donald Ashwander. Eleven separate theater pieces dealing with contemporary themes for children. Flexible cast of four or more. The Kansas City Times best describes this ingenious theater piece by stating: "Reasons To Be Cheerful is delightful with yarns about a woman who buys a bunch of uncooperative beans (they keep leaping from the pot and dancing around the kitchen) to an instructive skit in which the audience ends up instructing a stubborn child to take her medicine if she wants to get well."
