Why this play now?
Frog Prince was an attempt to flip a fairy tale on it's head to better suit today's needs. With the growing age of the internet, children are being exposed to porn earlier and earlier; creating a desperate need for a conversation surrounding consent and how to behave when it is violated. Talking to children about consent on a basic autonomy level earlier has been proven to lower the chances of a child hitting or attacking other children, as well as prompts more children to be more confident in reporting abuse. Theater is a structure for children to learn practical craft skills, public speaking, simple budgeting and accounting skills, and ultimately where children learn to listen. And what is more important than consent is listening.
“FRANCO: I for one am glad you didn’t end up kissing me.
PRICILLA: And why is that?
FRANCO: I wouldn’t have gone on this amazing adventure! I mean who else can say they took down the Goblin King?”
