This is such an important subject to tackle early on. Not just with the children, but with the adults children look up to. When mom says: "I didn’t realize you were paying attention. Somehow I forgot that
you’re always paying attention," it really hit hard. Children need to love themselves and love themselves enough to eat what they love when they're hungry without punishing themselves. I can just imagine the many fun ways this show can be staged and how many children...and adults...this will help!

Cheeseburgers and brownies speak to ten-year old Anna in this sweet play that hits a lot of food-truisms without hammering a message. Anna is on track to be a chef until she discovers her Mom's magazines and photos of skinny, unsmiling women who are the "beauty norms of the day." Anna's relationship with food becomes complicated. This play is a charmer and addresses food and how we deal with it in a way that is accessible and humorous for young audiences. A perfect play for touring and discussions.

A super fun script for kids that manages to bring up an important topic, our relationship with food and how it sometimes can become unhealthy, without hitting its audience over the head with a "message."
