The Girl Who Swallowed a Cactus Show Art.png

The Girl Who Swallowed a Cactus 

By Eric Coble 

Recommended for young audiences in K-5th Grades

School is out for the summer, the weather is hot and the boredom is heavy, but 8-year-old Sheila and her pack of pals aren’t going to let the summer heat wear them down. It’s a whirlwind adventure about how we affect the environment and the animals with whom we share the planet, and how we take on the mission of saving the world from ourselves. A unique twist on traditional storytelling, where a bit of moonlight brings a menagerie of found objects to life, this original play shows the power of memory and imagination.
