Recommendations of Creche Wars! (Or Nursery Wars!)

  • Morey Norkin: Creche Wars! (Or Nursery Wars!)

    When you look at war from the perspective of children fighting, you can see just how foolish it is. Sadly, adults don’t have a strict teacher to separate the warring factions. But thankfully, Chris Plumridge devises a welcome solution to one major conflict. There are lessons to be learned and lots of fun to be had as Romper Room meets Combat in this spirited piece.

    Clever, lively, and outrageous. Performers will have a whole lot of fun not acting their ages!

  • Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn: Creche Wars! (Or Nursery Wars!)

    It’s always fun when adults get to play children on stage! And this one not only would be fun, but also has a super satisfying ending! If only we could fight wars like children!

  • Philip Middleton Williams: Creche Wars! (Or Nursery Wars!)

    When the world is seen through the eyes of children, it's all so easy to understand. Primary colors and rules of engagement are plain to see and follow. It's only when age and the outside world intrude that things get complicated, and in this morality tale of toddlers battling for the things that matter, such as a red crayon, the nuances of diplomacy and compromise give way to the honest truth that we never really grow up.

    12.17.25 - I'm going to theorize that Chris Plumridge overindulged on cough syrup before he put this one in the books. OR he knows some interesting children. Either way, this was entertaining from the get go as we see that playing war isn't just a game for the big kids in political power. It starts early. And it doesn't take much. Mocking, throwing weapons, name-calling. It's all there. But this would be much better to watch than what we see on the world stage. Stage it, baby!
