Colorfast

Book and Lyrics by Kellee Van Aken
Music by Douglas Levine

Twelve-year-old Abby is having problems. Her room is messy, her parents are grumpy, she gets a bad grade, fights with her best friend, and to top it all off, her Mom wants her to do the laundry! When Dina Clean--a Genie of the Laundry--arrives with helpful advice, Abby decides not to listen and makes an even bigger mess. Abby travels to Lintville where the hilarious inhabitants help her to sort out her problems. With its jazz and funk based score, witty lyrics, zany story line and 9-foot-tall lint puppets, Colorfast was a hit at the 2004 Pittsburgh International Children's Theater Festival.

“Levine keeps energy high with his score of bright and peppy songs, and Van Aken contributes some amusing and child-sympathetic lyrics...the show gets high marks with kids for some sure-fire giggle inducers that include the Bleach Bottle, the singing pink boxers and that imposing trio of Laundry Genies.”
