Synopsis

Yet another play from the author of Playing Hardball and Sticks and Stones .

Like his other plays, Turn Around toured throughout the country as part of the renowned Issues and Awareness Tour of The Missoula Children's Theatre.

This is a highly theatrical, easily produced play that revolves around the life of Andy, an angry, troubled ten year old boy.

Andy physically and verbally strikes out at everyone -- his parents, teachers, classmates - because this is the only way he knows to deal with the world around him.

He even considers alcohol to ease his torment, but with the help of a new friend learns to overcome his rage and take a new look at life.
