Two Bugs are Better Than One
Book and Lyrics by Jenny Stafford
Music by Willem Oosthuysen
Students at the Peachtree School for Insects are up to their usual antics, but today there is a buzz in the air because Fiona the Firefly, the leader of their community, has disappeared! Marvin and Anna, a scatter-brained moth and a studious worker bee, are assigned the duty of finding Fiona and bringing her back to safety. During this 45-minute original musical, children will travel with Marvin and Anna on an epic journey of self-discovery. Along the way, they’ll meet a sassy spider, a dramatic mosquito and a sly fly, all of whom teach an important lesson about how collaboration, cooperation and self-confidence can help save the day!
Two Bugs are Better Than One was originally commissioned by the New York City Children’s Theatre. The show did a three-year tour through the NYC area, received an off-Broadway run, and toured with the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia.

“Two Bugs are Better Than One is a prime example of this goal. After conducting much research on the topic, they found that many pre-schoolers experience difficulties connecting with others in school settings. Thus, “Two Bugs are Better Than One” addresses these issues by showing the benefit of two strong individual bugs working together as a team.”
