<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">The classic 1987 motion picture fantasy bursts onto the stage in this unforgettable theatrical experience. Josh Baskin is sick of being an awkward kid. At a carnival,
he makes a wish to the Zoltar machine to become "big". To his shock, his wish is granted. After an understandably awkward beginning, Josh is forced to do "adult" things like getting a job and a girlfriend. In the end he discovers there's much more to being
an adult than he's bargained for, and learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
