Hey piece of wood go and come back
Take me to my grandparents
They are in the suburbs of Acre
They will give me a dress and a cake
And the cake is in the box
The box needs a key
The key is at the ironsmith
And he wants money
The money is with the bride
And the bride is in the bathroom
The bathroom needs a lamp
The lamp fell into the well
The well needs a robe
The robe is on the horns of a bull
The cow needs hay
And the garden needs rain
Rain is inside the cloud
Oh God let it rain
Oh God let it rain
Imad, Ayman, and Zahra try to convince their parents and uncles to go on a search for a Green Box that has unlimited food and clothing in it… enough for the rest of their lives. The search for the Green Box is difficult. Obstacles pop up everywhere, everyday. If finding the box turns out to be impossible, does that mean that we stop looking for it? This is a good question.
About the Players
Eighteen boys and girls are in this production and come from three different schools. They cross several age groups from 9 – 17 years old. In “The Green Box” this group looks at all children and all adults and says: Hey, let’s build, let’s rejoice, let’s love, let’s work, let’s get it together.
