Triton Tries to Take Today

Ancient Greek mermaids and mermen had tails in the ocean but legs on land. What if a divine merman named Triton – or merboy since he’s 12 – decided he hated having a tail, so he hatched a plan to make the ocean unsalty and never have a tail again? And what if his sister Kymopolia, a divine mermaid, thought her brother’s idea was terrible, because melting the poles will mean really bad things will happen around the world, changing the future for humans everywhere? And what if a girl named Sophia from 21st Century Turlock had the power to make Triton see things differently?

Triton Tries to Take Today is an adventure across time, as Tri does all he can to not have a tail, and Ky does all she can to stop him. 

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.


Education Topics: California Water Cycle, Climate Change

Little Red Robin Hood

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!


Education Topics: Making good choices, how to speaking up for change
