Family For Sale

Family For Sale is a musical written for young actors which features an ensemble cast, with parts written for 27 actors. The cast size is flexible by combining parts and expandable by adding additional chorus.

The story is about Mike, a boy who places an ad in the newspaper to make an exchange for his parents. He is convinced by Max, that Mike should exchange his life with his parents for Max's life on his own. It all seems like a lot of fun - at first. When Mike finds he wants his old life back, it takes all of the kids in town working together to get it back.

The musical score includes ten songs and three reprises. They range from ballad to rap and are fun for both actors and audience.
