Farmer Morgan has troubles. Life is difficult and there is never enough money. Morgan’s best friend, Dusty the Mechanic, also has troubles. Dusty is broke and cannot find a job. Morgan owns a goose named Janice, whose trouble is that she wants Morgan to love her and doesn’t know how to make that happen. Then Janice lays a golden egg. Suddenly, all their troubles are over! 

​

Except, maybe they’re not…  maybe now, they just have new troubles.

This production has it all: Singing Animals, Dancing Bankers, Grumpy Old Widows, Traveling Salespeople, Blacksmiths, Postal Workers, and Money-Seeking Old Friends. With flexible casting, almost every one of the 36 named characters can be played by a girl or a boy.  This musical has extremely catchy songs that are at times genuinely funny, and other times deeply moving. “Our Troubles Are Over!” is a play that celebrates friendship, forgiveness, and appreciation for what truly matters in life.
