Synopsis
Best friends Hoagy and Shirley find themselves shipwrecked in their imaginations, this time on the mystical island of Wacky Tacky Boo.
Once a paradise, the island is now in peril, as its natural resources have been plundered by Pollution Pirates.
The local animals enlist the aid of our heroes in preventing the pirates from devastating their habitat.
After harrowing chases, Shirley and Hoagy meet The Big Mermaid, a Seaweed Siren who has spouted legs in time to compete in the island’s annual talent show: Wacky Tacky Idol.
By the end of Act One, all of the characters, armed with their own agenda, are on their way to compete in the extravaganza.
Act Two is a show-within-a-show, which enables each production to showcase the unique talents of their cast.
Who will win Wacky Tacky Idol?
Will the pirates clean up their act?
All is revealed in the all-singing, all-dancing finale!

— Lynn Herschlein, Principal of West Side Elementary School, CSH District, NY
"As fine a theatrical treat for children as you’re likely to find on any enchanted island! Cleverly written on both parent and kid levels. Its loony landscape finds infectious pop diversity."
