Why is mom soannoying and why is dad so old-fashioned? Why are kids so ungrateful? Why iseveryone else wrong, and why are we the only ones who seem to be doingeverything right? Why is it so hard for us to understand one another?

The walking audio play “Urban Safari” is an adventure for the whole family,either everyone together or each member separately. You can go on fourdifferent walking routes and use your imagination to observe people fromdifferent generations in their natural habitats. The play presents arun-through of the characteristics of generations X, Y, and Z, giving you theopportunity to compare them, better understand them, and have a little laugh atthem (as well as one another).
