Ms Pac-Man

                 INTRODUCING THE ONE, THE ONLY...
                         MS. PAC-MAN

Pac-Man TM is in love! And what a star his sweetheart is,
with her red ribbon and long eyelashes. Just like her
leading man, Ms. Pac-Man TM chomps her way through
mazes as she battles four ghosts. Round and round,
back and forth, across the stage she races as she gobbles
up dots, energy pills, teddy bears, fruit, and pretzels.
Can she escape the marauding ghosts? Or will this be her 
final curtain? Will Pac-Man ever see his lady love again?

Ms. Pac-Man Meets the Ghosts
Ms. Pac-Man appears at center stage. To earn a curtain call, she
must eat all the dots in each maze without being gobbled
up by the ghosts.
And she knows how to stall them. If she swallows one of the
four energy pills, the ghosts change into blue costumes. She
must chase them down and devour them before they change
back again.
As Ms. Pac-Man finishes each round, a new fruit or pretzel
appears on the screen, and the chase continues. Faster and
faster she runs as she turns a corner here, avoids a trap there.
The ghosts aren't far behind! Quickly she swallows an energy pill,
then turns on them. But before she can bat her eyelashes, the
ghosts change back and the chase is on again!

The Plot Thickens!
This is one tough performance. Ms. Pac-Man must scramble
through four different maze patterns. And the mouth-watering
teddy bears, fruit, and pretzels that bounce across the stage try
to lure her toward the ghosts. Fortunately, she has five lives
in each show. But once they're gone, her performance is over-
and so is the game!
But she can earn an encore. If she gets through the banana
maze, Ms. Pac-Man enters the random fruit mazes. So hold your
applause until the final curtain!

Stage Directions
Make sure Ms. Pac-Man eats the dots as quickly as she can.
Don't let her take the energy pills too early, or she'll lose her
only weapon against the ghosts. Wait until they start to gain on
her. Then she can tease them toward the pill before she gobbles
it up and turns the chase on them.
Remember: each maze has escape tunnels that lead offstage
and back again. They could save her life!

Intermissions
Three cartoon breaks immediately follow the Strawberry, Apple,
and second Random Fruit mazes.
