Your youth theatre group or school drama class can now perform RUGRATS, Nickelodeon’s classic hit animated series about life from a baby’s point of view. The Rugrats are Tommy, our one-year-old hero, and his friends, Chuckie, Phil & Lil and his cousin Angelica. Whenever adults are around, the Rugrats act like real babies, but when they’re alone they drop the façade and talk to each other with the vocabulary of five-year olds. As Tommy and his pals wobble through life, supported by legs not yet used to walking, they show us the world as a baby views and understands it. The Rugrats’ world is one that exists below our knees; here mundane things and events turn into grand, comic adventures. Photos courtesy Helen Hayes Youth Theatre, Nyack, NY

“Witty script… a dozen charming songs, deft humor and heartfelt messages... appeals to adults and children alike. McDonough’s script avoids predictable turns and reinvents familiar characters. This is the best show for young audiences…” — Backstage “There are twists on the old fairy tale that make it a delightful and ultimately romantic production. The score is just right and so is the show.” — Cincinnati Post “A magical blend of music and humor... McDonough’s clever retelling of the story avoids many predictable turns... It conveys a fine message...without being patronizing or silly.” — Cincinnati City Beat

She is a haunting presence in Edgar’s life. ELMIRA (mezzo): a southern belle. Edgar’s first and last love. Ranging in age from 17 to 40. Elmira is understanding, patient and a place of salvation. VIRGINIA (soprano): age 13, Edgar’s bride and cousin. Virginia is youthful, naive and a source of inspiration for Edgar. THE WHORE (alto/belter): an embodiment of Edgar’s fantasy.
