Wildwood Park for the Arts has commissioned me to write their children's educational theatre tour. The tour will take place in early spring 2012. Artistic director Cliff Baker requested the play focus on the seed to plate idea.
I have completed the rough draft based on a one page story by my sister-in-law, Emily Hardin. The play focuses on a young girl, Lily, who loves vegging out in front of the TV with her favorite junk foods. Huck, a smarmy kid-friendly tv food spokesperson, insures that Lily's love of junk foods continues to grow. Over the summer, Lily stays on her Grandma Francis' farm. Grandma Francis grows a lot of what she eats and doesn't have a TV. Though Lily wins the opportunity to be a TV spokesperson along side Huck and can now eat as much junk food as she wants, she feels differently. Lily must choose between her love of junk food and the healthy choices she learned to make at Grandma Francis' farm.
I will continue to work on the play over the next few months until the tour begins!
