This delightful comedy tells the tale of Cindy whose project for Family Living class is to treat a sack of flour as if it was her child. The "father" is Chuck "Metal-Is-My-Life" Shickman, who would rather die than take a sack of flour in a diaper to his Advanced Remedial English class. Bribes, threats, brownies, Twinkies, and a twisted kidnapping plot are employed in this story where everyone learns something about parenting and each other.
WaCPAC is a non-profit performing arts organization that has been providing performing arts opportunities in WayneCounty for nearly 30 years. For more information about the audition, call 330-466-6360.
