The Creative Team

*SEEKING ACTORS FOR THE ROLE OF ASHE ONLY*

THE POCKET PARK KIDS is a new play that brings the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (a.k.a. The Global Goals) to life. The creative team actively encourages performers of all races, gender identities, disabilities, and body types to audition. “The Kids” can be played by any actor of any gender, race, identity, or ability. Please share if you have puppetry skills.

Note from the director: Please don’t worry about acting like children. You are welcome to think about what makes someone “childlike,” i.e., earnest, eager, or without polish or guile, but you need not try to act like 7- to 12-year-olds—just play your actions honestly!

ASHE, an actor playing the age of 12 (he/him), is an athlete—disciplined and the oldest of the kids. He is certain he knows best and is exasperated when the others don’t realize it too. He thinks the park should be one big basketball court. PLEASE SUBMIT NON-EQUITY PERFORMERS ONLY.

SHOW SYNOPSIS
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 plans to turn it into a parking garage, an uncommonly wise parakeet makes a nest in the tree. When the bird starts talking, will the kids listen? Can they figure out how to work together to save their pocket park?
