Jupiter Landing Performance Pack

The "Musical Entertainments" series consists of short music-theatre works written for performance by children between the ages of 6 and 14 years.

Focusing on singing and making music, the performance also gives opportunity for acting, miming and making sets and costumes.

The plays are between 15 and 25 minutes long. Each package in the series includes a teacher's book, which contains an introduction to the work, the lyrics and the full musical score, and a parts book, containing the music parts for photocopying.

The introduction in the teacher's book provides a brief guide for those teachers who have little or no experience in dealing with these kinds of activity.

There are tips on how to handle such a production, including notes on the music, singing, orchestra and staging. "Jupiter Landing" is an adventure story. Pat, who is mad on space games, meets a group of space people stranded in our galaxy.

They enlist his help, plus bed and toys, to fight the space monsters and ghoulies they encounter on their way back.

Although they win the battles, the story takes a twist at the end.
