The Landfill Mutant VS. <INSERT YOUR SCHOOL HERE>

The Landfill Mutant Vs. <Insert Your School Here> is a hilarious and perilous play written for grade 5-7 classrooms to produce and perform for their schools and communities. 

 

"When a well-meaning student's science fair project takes on a life of its own, it's up to the students and teachers to change their behaviours and stop the all-consuming Landfill Mutant ... before it's too late." 

 

Topics include Household Chemical Safety, Zero Waste, Active Transportation, Reducing Emissions, Household Germs, and Indoor Toxins. The overarching theme and biggest takeaway for students and teachers is Reducing Our Waste. 

 

Support materials include a Study Guide and Director's Guide for teachers and a Designer's Guide and Research Manual for students.  The support publications take you through all the steps required to put on a successful and eco-friendly production, plus we offer mentorship (in French or English, over video conferencing) as you work on the project.

Residency Program


Ever wanted to have a week devoted to science through drama? So have we!


Our goal is to create a residency, where the Green Kids will come and work with all the classes in your school to learn how to be “green” through theatre. Having more time at one school means getting to dive deeper into the concepts of what “being green” really means.
