Quest for the Whooperdink: Acting Edition S.

The Whooperdink is a rare fantastical bird with hidden magic powers, seen only by the Urgles who reverently feed it on strawberry jam. So when Professor Potterton is informed by a fellow scientist of a sighting in Urgleland he eagerly sets off with his daughter Crystal. Along the way they encounter Salmonella, a wicked witch in disguise, her son Seth, cursed into idiocy twenty years earlier by a spell, and the Snowfl ake Maker, doomed to travel about creating snow and all the while dreaming of sun-kissed beaches. After many adventures, during which Seth is released from the wicked spell and the secret of the Whooperdink's magic is discovered, all ends happily when the Snowfl ake Maker transforms the magic snowflakes into wishes and Salmonella is reformed. This highly imaginative and original tale will delight all children and offers excellent flexible mixed cast opportunities.
