Bloom Bloom Pow
Who will inherit the Earth when Humans have self-destructed? Algae, that's who.
As our human protagonist Mag struggles to maintain the facade of being "fine," the cyanobacteria (Algae) grows bigger and stronger each day.
Straddling the line between humor and suspense, Bloom Bloom Pow explores what it means to be alive in the face of impending climate doom.
Bloom Bloom Pow comes from a personal obsession with cyanobacteria (toxic algae blooms) in the Great Lakes.
I started writing this piece last spring, after citizens in Toledo, Ohio voted to give Lake Erie the same legal rights as a person, in an attempt to protect their drinking water

Audience Responses:
"the naturalistic dialogue pops and sparks, and the fantastical (yet all too realistic) challenges kept me on the edge of my seat." "SO weirdly wonderful...a dark and hilarious piece that will...make you consider what part you play in maintaining and healthy and safe environment" |
