The Oceanography Show - Tide Pool Condos (age 5-8)

By Ron Fink (Composer) and John Heath (Book and Lyrics)

Adapted for the Stage by Heather Dawe
Directed by Heather Dawe

Poseidon and Amphitrite, gods of the sea, overhear two real estate developers planning to dig up the tide pools in order to make room for new condo buildings.  In an attempt to coerce the developers to change their minds the gods take them on a tour of the ocean to explore the ecosystems whose survival depends on the tide pools.

Everyone Gets Eaten by Sharks: A Cautionary Tale (age 9-12)

By Marshall Pallat 

Directed by Jacqui Knap

This play is a vignette play narrated by Adventure Dan and Sweet Bonnie. In it, the narrators attempt to warn the audience how NOT to get eaten by sharks. These warnings include, but are not limited to, NOT to surf insurmountable waves, NOT to sea-kayak with paddles made of meat, and NOT to have sharks over for a dinner party. Despite their best efforts, most characters unfortunately do meet their demise via vicious aquatic predators, but hilarity ensues along the way!
