What on Earth?!
An Environmental Play Perfect for Earth Day
by Mike Willis
10 Gender/Age-Neutral Characters
Approximate Playing Time: 15 Minutes
Intended to be performed on a bare stage, 10 environmental hazards begin their journey to the sea. It’s exciting for all, and some even pick up friends along the way. Salt and Oil are just hanging out waiting for the rain to wash them into the storm drains. If they miss the first one, no worries, there’s another inlet right around the corner. Along comes the trash family; Plastic, Paper and Can. They’re a little shook up from being tossed from a car window but ready to head to the beach. Oil’s cousin Gas and his buddy Acid show up. They expect to catch a ride to the Gulf. Fertilizer and Pesticide figure they’ll tag along to the shoreline. No one’s all too thrilled with Sewage and his powerful smell. His owner’s septic tank overflowed. Wasn’t his fault. But he vows to leave a bit of himself here and there as he travels towards open water. Off on their adventure, the first to arrive look for their friends hoping they’ve all arrived safely. A perfect play to remind us that humans cause pollution. Perform it on Earth Day or any day that provides an opportunity to watch, listen and learn in an entertaining way.
