Synopsis: | A young boy is playing on a seesaw when a mysterious twenty-thousand-pound man abruptly sits on the other end -- thus suddenly launching the boy into outer space. He journeys through the universe as his father and mother anxiously await his return to earth. Within this strange world of flying twelve-year-olds, buried girl scouts, and wacked-out park rangers, the play takes a profoundly comical look at the power struggles of youth and individualism. | |||||
