As their friendships develop and grow, the audience learns a great deal about the insect and bug world in the most fun and engaging way – songs and raps! By the end of the play, each and every character learns that their differences are exactly what makes them special and important. Worm is particularly insecure about his lack of wings or legs. As we move through the acts, each of the main characters expresses what makes them unique and also what makes them feel insecure. Spider, Worm and Fly are each writing in their diaries about their individual excitement and fears about the new school year. The play, based upon the Diary of a Worm book series by Doreen Cronin and Harry Bliss, opens on the eve of the first day of school. My children and I had the opportunity to see Oregon Children’s Theatre’s production of Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly on opening weekend.
