Description: Many kids dream of being an astronaut and Brandon Fitzgerald Atwater the Third is no different. Unfortunately, Brandon feels that his name is too absurd to be such an important person, so he sets about to change it. During the course of BRANDON FINDS HIS STAR, he comes to realize that your name IS you - we create the definitions of ourselves and of our destinies.

An inventive book by Sidney Berger and a score by Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer, Jerry Bock, BRANDON FINDS HIS STAR is light years beyond most children’s theatre writing. Brandon’s fantastic journey to the Blue Planet, beyond the planet Pluto, is a story of imagination, daring and self-discovery. Aided by his friend, a shy young girl from Guatemala named Estrella, Brandon helps the Blue Planetarians get their names back from the Wizard of Ahhhs. Along the way, Estrella gains self-confidence and Brandon learns that he can be whatever he wants to be as long as he continues to apply himself.
