SYNOPSIS:
This heartwarming performance captures the true story of five siblings and how, through hard work and cooperation, they achieve a goal. The story takes place in the Midwest in 1925, where Donna Delle Philp is faced with a real dilemma: her legs have grown too long for the family's old washtub! But with her parents busy making ends meet on the farm, it's up to Donna to find a solution. Through their "homegrown" business, Donna and her siblings earn enough money to buy the family a real, honest-to-goodness bathtub! This inspiring story illustrates the value of money and what can be accomplished by teamwork and dedication.
