Captain Fantastic
 

Directed by Kelly Swope


Sunday, June 4, 2024

We will be casting one Teen Cast (12-19).

STORY:

Pity poor Waldo Puppybreath! In the spirit of fearless journalism, he has written an editorial for the school paper suggesting that the proposed site for a new high school building is actually a swamp! The land speculator is not amused. The high school bully, a dead ringer for the Godfather, is muscling in on the Prom Queen Contest. And the biology teacher is demanding Waldo's resignation from the paper because it's interfering with his studies of the anatomy of a cat. In such trying times, Waldo draws strength from his comic book Wonder Heroes. So, when knocked out in a fight with the school Godfather, he enters a twilight world where all the characters of Act One are transformed into the colorful and totally unbelievable characters of Waldo's beloved comic books.  This is a fast-paced comic book farce with a zany romance, some rip-roaring chases, slapstick action and of course good triumphing over evil!

​
