←Recommendations of IT'S ELEMENTAL (10-minute comedy, 4 characters)

Rose hits the nail on the head in all ways with this play. By crafting this for young actors and audiences, she acknowledges that they are our future and hope. By making the play wickedly funny, timely, and crafty, she gives her actors ample room to play with their characters while sending an important truth to all audiences. I love that the gods wrap their message in humanity.

I am a huge sucker for plays in which divine entities show off their humanity, flaws and all, and the delightful pantheon at the center of this play has such phenomenal chemistry! There is a fantastic sense of PLAY from page one! It's a hilarious ensemble piece with a serious question at the center. Ultimately, it hands the choices back to the audience, leaving them with - as Hutch suggests - a sense of hope. I know for a fact that actors would have a spectacular time putting this larger-than-life, character-driven short on its feet.

I love short plays with big characters. But this is more than that. It starts out fun and over the top. But the message becomes strong and clear. This should be performed at climate summits! It will certainly get people paying attention!

This is just the kind of play I love to read, and I'll bet it would be even better to see staged. The humor is fast and furious, the characters all portrayed perfectly. This would be wonderful for child actors and don't (pardon the pun) kid yourself. This play isn't only for children. Adults could benefit from the message too.

What a great piece this is for a young cast, for children are already leading the way to help prevent climate change, if only our leaders would stop, listen and help them. Staged, this short play would be lots of fun to act in and to watch, but with an important message at it's heart to tell. Wonderful.
