Synopsis
Martina - Lost and Found
Published by Dramatic Publishing
3 Male 4 Female
Her life is unfair and her world is full of pressures, boundaries and contradictions
But when she slams the door to her room and yells that she wants everybody to get out of her life, her "wish" is granted ...
Martina's waking nightmare journey brings her face to face with scary street people, a gang of raucous crows, a mythic makeover witch and other monstrous figures grown large out of her everyday life
Based on interviews with kids 10 to 18 years old, this is a fantastical, realistic whirlwind about confronting fears and important choices to set a course of growth and responsibility
"A treasure to parents and educators searching for a way to make sense out of the confusion all children face" ~ St. Louis Magazine
"The play packed a wallop right up to the end ... Boys and girls alike found their own stories in Martina's journey ... it really spoke to the heart of their emotional world" ~ Carol North, Artistic Director, Metro Theater Company
