WATER WEIGHT
WATER WEIGHT (Elementary School)
Written by Jesse Stong
Directed by Mike Payette Script developed with Playwrights' Workshop Montréal
On a hot summer day, when they wanna stay cool… all the kids go on down to the towns swimming pool! A grade seven girl with a chubby little puppy, and a grade eight boy with a feisty feline friend, throw insults at a pool and spin out into a whirlwind of adventure. The magical swimming pool comes to life to make both their deepest wishes rise to the surface; as the boy starts to grow and the girl starts to shrink, everything begins to flow out of control! A show for children that plays with size while looking at issues with self-image; reminding us all that every water drop is a little bit different.
connections: Body image, self-esteem, environment awareness, bullying, healthy relationships and gender empowerment.
