--PEOPLE R READY-The Musical evolved from an original premise of agoraphobia and brain tumors.  We're happy to say none of that made it in to the final script.  Just love, joy, dancing, singing and having fun made the cut.  We admit, this ain't no Shakespeare, but hey--that's okay.

--A PEOPLE R READY--The Musical soundtrack is in production.

--In the play, we refer to Tator Tot Casserole, which probably needs a Minnesota translation; in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, it is more commonly referred to as Tator Tot Hotdish.  lol
