Four worker ants set out on a routine mission to retrieve tasty morsels for their colony and end up on the quest of a lifetime.

Hospital Kids
Music by Jake Chapman, Book & Lyrics by Lisa Mongillo 
A hilarious, madcap, heartwarming romp of a musical that follows three young cancer patients as they embark on a quest to meet their idol, the flawless Hollywood hottie Ryan Reynolds. These kids won’t let anything - not illness, not nurses chasing them through halls, not doctors trying to send them home, not constant nagging from their least favorite celebrity Ryan Gosling - stand in the way of their dream.
