Abstract
"Let's Grow!' is a play which can be done with or without the Narrator. It is based on the work of Jonny Belber, an award-winning farmer and educator who works at Holly Hill Farm in Cohasset, MA.
In this play, Jonny and his assistant Anna lead a group of children underground by turning them into seeds so that they can learn first hand how seeds grow. The children turn back into themselves at the end of the lesson underground. While the children are underground, they pantomime the actions of seeds sprouting and plants growing.
But they run (literally) into a huge problem--an old oil storage container with pipes leeching toxins into the earth and preventing natural growth.
Can the children find a way to solve this enormous problem of environmental contamination??
Of course.
