A dark cloud settles over the festivities of the grand opening of the new public library upon the arrival of Roger Thesaurus and the reference materials. Not even the head librarian, Paige Turner can help. They are devastated that the obnoxious Power Macs have taken over their jobs! Maggie Zene and others try to lift their spirits, but in the end, it is the rascally internet viruses who save the day! Janet Gardner s delightful new musical, As the Pages Turn, blends humor and soap opera to send an important message that all of us are important and must work together for the common cause. The dialogue is extremely clever and the most wonderful of lyrics are set to songsbased on classical themes by Liszt, Brahms, Rossini and Grieg, to name a few. Students will love playing the parts of the library materials, bookworms, students, and internet viruses. Perfect for many age levels and class sizes. In addition, there is an Activities Booklet available. This exciting additional material is full of lessons, games and activities to accompany eachcomposer and the music learned and performed in this musical. A teacher s dream comes true!
