Snow in the Jungle / Nieve en la Jungla
Based on the book by Ariane Hofmann-Maniyar
Adapted by Nicole McNulty
Directed by Robbie Harrison
Join playwright Nicole McNulty, director Robbie Harrison, members of the up-coming Maddy’s Theatre production and some theatre friends for open workshop readings of the world premiere play: Snow in the Jungle / Naive en la Jungla. Actors will have script in hand and will be focusing on the text. Audience members are invited to attend the readings then stay for a facilitated talk-back between the playwright, director, and Theatre Company Coordinator as an opportunity for our playwright to make final adjustments to the script before rehearsals begin.
Snow loves her tundra friends, snowy hills, and polar treats. When her mom gets a new job far away, suddenly Snow must leave everything that she knows. In her new home, vegetation grows thick and green, animals eat strange yellow fruit with a peel, and it is hot. Very, very hot. This little polar bear finds her way through the anxieties of moving to a new place where “only her mother’s hug felt the same as always.” This bilingual English & Spanish play is intended to foster belonging, celebrate the generosity of others, and offer young audiences a chance to imagine themselves as a polar bear in the jungle.
A Nieve le encantan sus amigos de la tundra, los cerros nevados, y los postres polares, pero cuando su mamá consigue un nuevo trabajo, Nieve tiene que dejar todo lo que conoce. En su nuevo hogar, la vegetación crece larga y verde, los animales comen una extraña fruta amarilla con una cáscara, y hace calor. Mucho, mucho calor. Esta osita polar descubre la ansiedad de mudarse a un nuevo lugar, donde el abrazo de su mamá es lo único que sigue igual. Esta obra bilíngüe inglés-español sirve para promover la pertenencia junto a celebrar la generosidad de otros, y ofrecer a los jóvenes una oportunidad de imaginarse como un oso polar en la jungla.
