Cheer Up, Sleepy Jean is the story of a young girl named Jeannie (Melanie Gilpin), who has been devastated by the loss of her parents (and the family dog, Sparky!) in an accident. Just when she feels that things can't possibly get any worse for her, Jeannie is cheered up by her happy-go-lucky crazy Uncle Felix at the funeral.

This 8-minute musical comedy, written and directed by Matthew Schutt, is currently making its way through the festival circuit worldwide.
