Flying Hormones (Audio)
Jan 01, 1989
Created by Erin Cressida Wilson
A highly entertaining musical on teenage sexuality in the age of AIDS. Developed by playwright Erin Wilson and performed by a group of San Francisco high school students, it describes the plight of Cinderella and Prince Charming, hurled out of their fairy tale world (where neither pregnancy nor disease exist) into a present-day high school. What follows is a series of interwoven vignettes and songs that educate Cinderella and the audience about birth control, AIDS, and anatomy. Among them are two sportscasters announcing the sperm race; a condom song, an AIDS rap, and Dr. Abstinence. Barney Jones of Earwax Productions was the technical director and mixing engineer. Commissioned by New American Radio.
