The Big Toe: A humorous ghost story like those "jump tales" told around a camp fire. Old Dry Frye: The misadventures of a dead body around the community with the audience joining in the refrain, "Everybody Knows Old Dry Frye." Wicked John and the Devil: Six lucky volunteers from the audience get involved in John's successful efforts at outsmarting the devil.

I ordered this show on a whim and I am glad I did! The students loved this show the most out of all the productions we did this year.
