Magic Flute: Reloaded, The

Synopsis:
Merton Mercudio is suspended from school for uncontrollable fighting, and sentenced to four minutes in the land of Droon. We enter the whimsical land of Droon, and find it is the really the world of Merton's conscience and imagination. While there seeking his princess, Merton learns about anger management from King Meltdown, a self-centered, cowardly king, his daughter, the beautiful but rebellious Princess Melody, her mother, the bossy Queen Lady Notsofast, who holds her daughter prisoner, a two-headed, insult-slinging monster, and the cowardly but loveable Grumbo the Grindylow. For Merton, four minutes in Droon proves to be a valuable lesson -a lesson that will last him a lifetime.

Weslandia the Musical

Synopsis:
Wesley isn't like other boys, a fact that drives his normal parents mad. He's an inventor with no taste for pizza or soda, for football or shaved heads, who regularly refuses to join the crowd and fit in. and, of course, he has tormentors. With school over for the summer, Wesley sets about coming up with a project for the warm months. after he learns about seeds and crops at school, Wesley embarks on a project to grow his own staple crop and found a new civilization. the west wind delivers seeds in the night; five days later a strange fruit-bearing crop emerges. Over the course of the summer, it grows to dominate his backyard landscape. From the crop, which Wesley names 'swist' after the sound the wind makes as it blows through its leaves, he creates food, clothing, furniture, insect repellent/sun block, a new game, a mode of keeping time and even his own language. He starts a profitable business selling his sun block/sun repellent on eBay. Curiosity and then admiration overcomes his enemies, and then even his conservative parents, who end up being inspired and drawn in by Wesley's passion and his ability survive on the products of his own small landscape.
