LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF "GIVINGNESS"

Willy's Wonders is a unique slice of life that offers a fresh perspective on hope and trust. It

offers us a pied piper, a teacher, someone that reclaims his gifts and uses them. It is a comedic

look at larger-than-life characters set in the rural Rocky Mountain community of Yampa,

Colorado.

Three orphans are taken under the wing of a good-natured musical vagabond and find a new

direction in life through Willy's "special" gifts. At the same time, the children give Willy a new

focus on the wonder of life. The adventure begins when the orphans run away from the menacing

clutches of the head mistress, of the Hannibal Home for Wayward Children, Big Bertha. Willy,

and his newly blended family, finds a safe haven at a cafe run by a kindly woman, known to

everyone as Mom. The cafe is filled with an assortment of colorful characters from a crazy

cowboy poet to a stressed-out mountain man, a puffy, one-eyed sheriff to a stuffy banker, and the

overly dust-conscious waitress and her submissive, mechanic, husband. Three musical hobos,

clumsily, follow in Willy's wake. The story is rounded out by a mischievous ghost who delights

in getting even with anyone who gets in the way of his merriment. It all culminates in a live

benefit to save Mom's Cafe.

Willy's Wonders is a comedic story with a message geared for children but with appeal for all.

It's good clean fun. The messages are positive without being face slapping.
