Theatreworks USA: the Plant That Ate Dirty Socks August 12, 2008

For ten-year-old neatnik Norman, sharing a room with his messy older brother Michael is a nightmare -- with heaps of crumpled paper, clothes strewn about and piles of smelly, dirty socks everywhere! One day, Michael sends away for some "Amazing Beans," and before long, the boys are the proud owners of two giant plants. But as the plants grow taller and taller, the boys realize that their socks are mysteriously disappearing! As the plants' hunger for socks continue to grow, Norman and Michael must try to conceal their botanical secret from the rest of the children on Levitt Lane, especially the frighteningly nosey cheerleader, Patty Jenkins.
