Joseph, an upstanding member of "Don't be Afraid to be Afraid", relates a childhood story about being left alone in the cabin of the "Blue Star", a ship on the Red Sea. Actor, puppet, scenery and objects form a bright and exciting children's play that deals with fear in a light-hearted and clever manner.

"Whos Afraid of the Bogey Man" gently and wisely deals with fear in the lives of young children the play respects childrens sensibilities and does not confront them with the language of theater "Whos Afraid of the Bogey Man" is well made and takes full advantage of sound and lighting effects to create sharp transitions between feeling safe and the place where fear reigns
