Synopsis

Play script by Monica Long Ross, music and lyrics by Alan Ruch.

A highly theatrical musical celebrating the power of imagination.

Unit set: Clarissa's bedroom with an unusual closet.

3 females, 2 males may double all roles, or a flexible number of extras, gender neutral as Closet Characters.

Clarissa is a girl with a well developed imagination, a talent for writing, and a very messy room.

She can tell stories filled with pirates and fish-angels that dance.

Her closet is filled with her very own treasures.

The problem is that her closet is beginning to stink, and Grandma is coming for a visit.

Fearing for Grandma's health, Mom and Dad order Clarissa to clean her room and "find the smell".

The epic closet-cleaning adventure that follows takes Clarissa and her brother Peter into a world of ghosts, Merry Men, pirates, and those dancing fish-angels.
