Frozen Carrots is a funny and thought-provoking musical play that
teaches about hunger in Oregon and the United States. It follows two
students through an afternoon of working as volunteers at Oregon Food
Bank, where they make a deal with the volunteer coordinator: If they
can answer three questions about hunger, they can leave early.
In answering those three questions, our young heroes learn about hunger
and the mission of Oregon Food Bank -- and realize that they might not
want to go home early after all.
The play has a cast of four adult professionals, contains five
original songs, and the run time is 32 minutes plus a Question &
Answer session.
Frozen Carrots delivers a
powerful message and strong incentive for students and adults to
volunteer - wrapped in a funny and moving musical. It's perfect for
school food drive time - but don't let that limit your thinking and
planning. This is a great play for any time.
