"...This show is an excellent coming-of-age story that appeals to everyone. However, I will say that there are some moments that can be scary for younger audience members, which is why this show is recommended for ages 6+. The ensemble works incredibly well together, and I loved how the musicians could move so fluidly while at the same time playing an instrument. Everyone onstage plays a selection of instruments (except Coleman, whose hands are quite full with the lead role), and they are thrilling to watch. Aside from Rafael Sebastain, Theresa Cunningham, and Vaughn Irving, the rest of the chorus is rounded out by Kevin Collins, Matthew Schleigh, and Shanta Parasuraman. This is one extremely talented group of artists!"

Imagination stage brings the sights, sounds, and images alive of the backwoods where a young boy must face his biggest fears of life.Ian Anthony Coleman is perfectly cast as the sleepy, reticent Wiley prone to having nightmares about a huge scary Hairy Man who lives in the backwoods.
