SMALLBOTS
55 minutes | a play for middle & high schools / young actors and students      

The world is a dangerous place to raise kids, and it's only getting worse.
But, thanks to SmallBots, you can skip the hassles and risks and adopt robot children instead, starting at any age. And they are perfect, or however you'd like them to be.
Soon SmallBots are what every parent wants. It's not long before they're running the student council. What's next? And what happens when real kids can’t compete? 
A play inspired by youth activism, our dependence on technology, and asking teenagers what kind of world they want.

Nominated for the Sharon Enkin Award for Theatre for Young Audiences.
Developed with the young company at Toronto's Young Peoples Theatre, produced at the Nanaimo Young People's Theatre in Nanaimo, British Columbia, and schools internationally.

This play was initially created in 2020, which means there is... a dreaded Zoom version. That adaptation uses the technology of Zoom to tell a slightly different story than the stage version.
