First Light: Five Plays for the Very Young - Paperback

by Matt Bassett (Author), Tia Shearer Bassett (Author)

2-10 actors

Nonverbal. Hyper-engaging. Deeply artistic. Unrelentingly playful.

Two robots vie for the audience's attention as they try to out-beep-boop each other. A live bass player underscores a journey deep into a cave (that happens to look like a cardboard box). A tent becomes a vast cosmos to explore with the help of a beatboxer. A rainforest wakes up into a glorious cacophony of sounds as we meet its affable animal residents. Two different worlds of straight and squiggly lines find connection through penpals looking to see if there's room for all of us.

At times silly and beautiful, sophisticated and vibrant and gentle, these 30-minute pieces invite the littles and their adults to engage with problem solving, make friends, and learn how to see themselves in this big, beautiful world...with lots of giggles along the way.
