Gasp!!!
...a comic eco-operetta about the science of air and atmosphere!!
Original Story & Libretto by Rick Huff
Apparently someone has discovered a way to collect air. That "someone" is eccentric arch-villain Count Airgo. He wanders the land with Gustoff, the imposing C.E.O. of his massive All Factory, sucking in precious air with an "Air Snare" to use for their own mysterious schemes!
Determined to rescue the world from this peril are Mother Eartha's friends--bumbling caped superhero Jet Stream and Airin, his brainier superheroine partner/protector.
But four kids from "the next generation" step from the audience into the living comic book story, and it quickly becomes clear it will really be their job to learn the science of it and put things right.
Along the way they discover the properties of air and the problems facing the environment as they help solve the mystery and learn what they need to do in real life.
