WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Back By Popular Demand!
Edwina Spoonapple would do just about anything to be a part of the Kalamazoo Advice-a-palooza Festival. While her siblings both have proof "up on the fridge" of their accomplishments, poor Edwina has nothing. When a talent scout from the festival visits her hometown of Paw Paw, Michigan, she trots out her musical advice giving shows live from the family garage in hopes of finding her place in the spotlight. She is assisted by her older siblings (on piano and drums) and a host of quirky friends and neighbors, including Kelli, the cool, sophisticated ballerina; Annie, the girl-scout cookie-selling champion; Billy, one-third of the Vanderploonk triplets; Bobby, the befuddled new kid on the block; and Scott, who is helplessly and hopelessly in love with Edwina. Together they set out to tackle the world's problems, in number after hysterical number about everything from birthday party etiquette to the proper way to set a table ("salad fork, fork, plate, knife, spoon"). Sweet, smart and tuneful, it appeals to audiences of all ages, as Edwina doles out advice, and finally learns to listen to some of it herself.

Dear Edwina
As part of our annual holiday trip to the city, we always take in a few shows. Friends suggested Dear Edwina since it is set in our home of Michigan. With great reluctance my football-loving, neanderthal husband tagged along. During the "on the fridge" reprise, I heard a sniffle and peaked over to find him wiping away tears! Thank you Edwina played by Ephie Aardema for showing me there is still a child inside us all! I would recommend this for kids of any age -- the book is superb, the cast is energetic and the time spent will be memorable.

I took my 3 kids last year during the run and they and I still cant stop talking about it! A great show and great lessons to learn. We are going back this year no doubt!
