Description: This Anchorage Press publication is the script and score of a wonderful musical play for children, about a 5-6 year-old girl who has several imaginary friends. During the last week of summer vacation they have many adventures together, but as her first day of school approaches her thoughts begin to turn to other, "older kid," things, and her charming friends Nubbins and Glopp and the crew of "invisible people" must find another child to befriend -- one who believes in them, or else it won't work. The plot is touching, the songs utterly charming and singable -- they remain in your head long after seeing this show. The play has seen over 80 productions across the USA since its initial appearance in 1967. All local theater companies should give this show a whirl -- they and their young audiences will love it!
