Triton is the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite. He’s a merman. (He hates that people call him Aquaman). Poseidon wants Triton to inherit the sea. Thing is, Triton hates water. He likes land. He hates having a tail and being all pruny. Triton’s half-sister, Cymopoleia loves the sea and secretly wants to be in charge of it someday. She’s jealous of Triton’s birthright. So he can live only on land, Triton plans to move all fresh water to the sea and melt the ice caps so the sea isn’t salty anymore and he can have legs everywhere he goes. Cymopoleia thinks this is a terrible idea and she does everything she can to stop Triton. She knows his idea will mean drought across the lands of the earth followed by flooding from melting ice. Many people will die from the flooding and many sea animals will die from desalinization.
Through the play, we learn about drought, climate change, flooding, and the threat to the food chain due to changes in the sea and on land.

[About the Cast]
Little Red Riding Hood was known as saying to the Big Bad Wolf, “Ooh, what big eyes you have!” But Red’s eyes are pretty big too, and in Little Red Robin Hood, a new take on an old tale, Red’s eyes are now wide open— to injustice! Yes, Grandma had to work from home during COVID and took over Little Red’s bedroom as an office and Red’s not too happy about it! On top of that Grandma’s new boyfriend is none other than one Mr. Wolf. Having had enough, Red has recreated herself into “Little Red ROBIN Hood”: social justice warrior! So when she sees books pulled from her neighborhood library she recruits local homeless vet (Little) John on an odyssey you have to see to believe. It’s humor, songs and pandemonium in the city of Sherwood Forrest as one little girl becomes a legendary bandit and changes history!
