    As someone with an early childhood development background who spent years of her career in classrooms, this play had me in stitches! "From the mouths of babes" doesn't even begin to cover it! The balance of child-like dialogue and ultra-adult nudges at the audience is just great. Each of these little creche warriors is unique and specific in their own way, giving comedic actors the opportunity to play BIG...while they play LITTLE! The over-the-top ending just about killed me! Goofy fun!

    The kids are outrageously silly and still endearing - who wouldn't love a bunch of kids so deeply concerned with international politics? This play is super fun but it has some teeth - baby teeth of course, but teeth nonetheless.

    This play is a hoot and would be a ton of fun for actors, directors, and audiences!
