“I think it's a great piece. I really love the message of the play.”
Joseph Murphy, Rogers Middle School
“Love when a play can seem so simple and yet pack such an important message. ”
Kirstin Lynch-Walsh, GCIT
“A wonderful play to do with beginning actors! The story sends a message that is applicable to all from elementary age to adults.”
Tammy Roth, Morris Area Elementary Schools
“Very easy to blend characters or divide characters if you suddenly have more or less students than intended.”
Jennifer Walker, St. Boniface Diocesan High School
“The message is very timely and important!”
Peggy Killoren, Holdingford High School
“This show was great for building character and ensemble work. The writing is witty and also sends an important message that it's ok to be different.”
Amanda Dierking, Minneola Charter School
“This one-act play is an amazing ensemble piece that shares a very important message about accepting those who are different from us. ”
Susan Nieten, Noblesville High School
“This was one of the best experiences I've had in my 7 years in educational theatre. My students loved it, not only the text, but also the unique challenge of not having traditional blocking.”
Debra Adams, White Knoll Middle School
“Fun, yet with a social message, which I like to include in our work. And it was a perfect choice for Zoom in Gallery!”
susan pendleton, Surrey Youth Theatre Company, BC Canada
“It was great to do a "not normal" play during these not-normal pandemic times! Funny, memorable, serious, great roles for actors to develop the blades of grass' personalities and quirks. This was the first time since last March that we had been able to practice and perform together and it was marvelous. This play was perfect!”
Beth goodwin, Central High School Drama Club
The field believes in uniformity. Lovely rows of blades all the same height. Lovely rows of blades exhibiting standard behaviour of green grassness.
Nothing stands in the way of their orderly life. Until they wake up one morning to see a yellow dandelion in their midst. Sunny (that’s the dandelion) is bright and warm and just wants to be friends. The field wants nothing to do with her nonstandard, non-green ways.
A dandelion will turn their orderly way of life upside-down. A dandelion must be destroyed. Isn’t that what you do when something is different?
