A broad spectrum of human emotions and relationships are reflected in this play for families. Playing off the obstacle-to-love plot tradition, Backyard Story presents a wildly humorous and magnified look at bug life in a typical backyard. Each bug in the show speaks with a different accent and the villain, Voracious Vera, is a Russian bat.  Spider Spivak, along with the swashbuckling Errol Fly, execute a plan to capture the bat and, perhaps, save his daughter, Octavia, from a horrible fate. Backyard Story swept the major awards at the American College Theatre Festival in 1983, and in 1984 it represented the State of Texas at the International Children's Festival at Wolftrap Farm Park for the Performing Arts in Fairfax, Virginia.
