Rocks! by Melanie Godsey
NEW for the 2024-2025 school year.
S’mores, stargazing, swimming—Jamie’s family promises him that Camp Obsidian is a hidden gem. And when he makes friends with Casey on the first day, he knows this camp could rock. But when Casey’s jealousy spreads like poison ivy, Jamie gets caught between a rock and a hard place. Is Jamie really being bullied? Or is it all a harmless prank? The other campers and Jasper, the down-to-earth counselor, will leave no stone unturned to make it the best summer ever.
1-hour presentation including performance and actor-led talkback.

Story of an Off-Brand Band by Michelle Lang-Raymond
NEW for the 2024-2025 school year.
Everyone’s ready to rock and roll to the sound of the American dream—except one. When the members of The Preamble go on tour, the band is living the dream, except that the guitarist is treated differently. If each of them truly matters, then this band has a decision to make. In this poignant metaphor for Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech, the band must figure out how and if the show will go on.
1-hour presentation including performance and actor-led talkback.
Excerpt from Dr. Martin Luther King’s 1963 speech:
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

Taproot Theatre acknowledges that we live, work and play on the unceded and traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, specifically the Duwamish, and that we occupy this land. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy and resisting the erasure of Indigenous past, present and future.
