planets drifting through space until wc find a sun to revolve around and live for The show explores six suns or goals people often choose to live for In each case we arc presented with both the attraction of that sun and some dilemmas raised by making It our focus some of the suns at are material possessions sen sua pleasure partying and enter tain men real love and friendship the pursuit of and social political causes The show docs not promote certain values over others Rather using the lyrics of the songs that teens listen to every day it raises ques tions about what our values arc bas on and why and how we choose them These questions provide catalyst or discussion which the dlcnce is left to wrestle with after wards usually with the assistance of a panel discussion In Search of a
