A new play infused with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (a.k.a. The Global Goals) to empower to life, showing kids and their families how anyone and everyone can help save the planet!
Small people can get big things done.
Between two city buildings lies a small, neglected park with a single tree, a broken fountain and a woeful amount of litter. Five kids from the neighborhood each have fiercely differing ideas about the future of the park. Just as the kids learn that a powerful developer is going to turn it into a parking garage, an unexpectedly wise parakeet makes a nest in the tree. When the bird starts talking, will the kids listen? Can they figure out how to come together to save their pocket park?
Inspired by the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainability, the show encourages children and families to explore themes of environmental stewardship, equality, and community action.
