Gustav - The Goose Who Wouldn't Fly

Picture
Available from Heuer Publishing!

Gustav the Goose would rather design par-3 golf courses than do goose things like fly. But when the Polar Vortex forces the gaggle to leave early on The Great Goose Migration, Gustav is left behind! In order to help the gaggle win the race, Gustav sets off on foot for Mexico. Along the way he meets a narcoleptic chipmunk, a moose with the soul of a blues musician, and a badger with dreams of the NFL. The journey teaches Gustav that the most important thing is to be true to yourself - and sometimes you have to face your fears.

Winner of UCM's Theatre for Young Audiences National Playwriting Competition
