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 songs based on classical themes by Liszt, Brahms, Rossini and Grieg, to name a few. An Activities Book is available containing exciting additional material, such as lessons, games and activities to accompany each composer and the music learned and performed in this musical. A teacher's dream comes true! Students will love playing the parts of the library materials, bookworms, students, and internet viruses.
