Description

Extraordinary (The Extraordinary Life Of An Ordinary Woman) is a one-act 2-actor musical about a woman celebrating her 90th birthday. What is unusual about this particular celebration, however, is that she has invited her 18-year old self to join the party. She hopes to be reminded of the hopes and dreams she had at 18, but is instead faced with the many choices, and perhaps compromises, she has made throughout her life. She set out as a young woman to become “extraordinary”. What she discovers is that, despite her life not having unfolded as she had expected, she has become extraordinary in ways she had never anticipated.

“Anyone Can Change The World”

Stitch by stitch,
Square by square,
Anyone can change the world.
Row by row,
Quilt by quilt,
Lives assembled,
Histories built.
Start with nothing,
Add a patch,
Contour, colour,
Mix and match.
Any woman
Even any man
Can
Can change the world.

Crust by crust,
Pie by pie,
Anyone can change the world.
Fork by fork,
Taste by taste,
Let no apple
Go to waste.
Flour, sugar,
Not too much,
Then we add
Our magic touch.
Any apple,
In any pan,
Can
Can change the world.

Penicillin,
The electric light,
I invented neither.
Didn’t build the ark
Map out Central Park
Never climbed Mount Everest either.
Never been elected Prime Minister
So hardly anyone curses my name.
But in my way
Day by day
I’ve changed the world all the same.

Quilt by quilt.
Pie by pie,
In every word I did not say.
Tear by tear,
Child by child,
In every quarrel
Reconciled.
Listen closely
Do one’s best.
Recognize
We’ve all been blessed.
Every morning
Tell oneself. “Today –
Today I change the world.
