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.

Le mutant maléfique de la décharge dégueulasse vs (nom de votre école)
Le mutant maléfique de la décharge dégueulasse vs (nom de votre école) est une pièce rigolo et périlleux écrit par nous et monté par vous, pour votre école et votre communauté! “Vous” étant les élèves de la 5ième à la 7ième année.
“Quand un élève bien-intentionné crée un project qui s’anime, il faut que ses ami(e)s et ses enseignant(e)s changent leurs habitudes pour arrêter le mutant ultra-consommant… avant que ça mange tout!
La pièce parle des produits chimiques dangereux chez vous, le concept de zéro déchets, le transport actif, la réduction des émissions nocifs, les germes dans la maison, et les toxines qui se trouvent dans la maison. Le grand thème, et la leçon la plus évidente, c’est la réduction de nos déchets.
Inclus avec le texte de la pièce est un guide d’étude et un guide de mise en scène pour les enseignant(e)s et un guide de conception et un guide de recherche pour les élèves. Les guides vous mêne, pas à pas, à travers toutes les étapes nécessaires pour monter une pièce dans une manière écologique, et nous sommes aussi là pour vous guider (en anglais ou en français par téléconférence) pendant que vous montez la pièce.

Wild Wild Wilderness Performance
Wild Wild Wilderness is a performance that demonstrates the connections between habitat, wildlife, and human activity. The play is a dynamic and whacky story of one kid’s accidental effect on a nearby forest and its creatures, performed by a single actor/ storyteller and armfuls of adorable puppets.
FEE: $400
Participants will explore the natural processes occurring right under their recess feet, from plant propagation to the tiny creatures that call this area home. We'll also talk a bit about how we humans affect this habitat and what we can do to live in harmony.
Coming Back Soon!
We are excited to bring back these classic programs in the future.

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.
