In the town of Moline Acres some people get into a pickle because of their personality traits. Through this musical we learn about procrastination, sharing, kindness, acceptance, gossiping, accusing others and other qualities that make up good and bad character. People are like mannequins, and they put on display an array of qualities and characteristics that they don't see about themselves, but others do.

Are you aware of what your actions and expressions display?

You are invited to visit Moline Acres and its residents.

Do you see what I see?

 Do You See What I See? presents opportunities for interactive participation by the audience that, at times, become an integral part of the performance. Youth selected from the audience play games during the performance;win take-home prizes as a part of the "Self-Improvement Celebration". At the end of the production, every audience member receives a bag of treats which include a bookmark bearing a quote from one of the themes of the show.
