“Curious: Think Outside the Pipeline!” a musical for ages five and up

September 15, 2018 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

$10 – $15

“Curious: Think Outside the Pipeline” is a folksy, feminist musical written and performed
by Ants on a Log, Julie Beth and Anya Rose. The story centers around a sibling pair, Clio and Taylor, in their fight to protect human health and the environment. When Taylor becomes sick with asthma, the two begin to research the local oil refinery, and they find that Taylor isn’t the only one who is sick. With the help of a songful community, a dancing pencil, and the audience, Clio and Taylor strive to make big change even in the face of some bigger, more powerful people.

This musical was first performed in 2016 with a cast of twelve. In a special, two-performer edition, the Ants will play all characters themselves! While the plot is fictional, the musical is based on actual, recent events in Philadelphia and all over the United States. As Clio laments midway through the play, “The same thing is happening everywhere.”

The musical offers children a view into the importance of being active members of a community and realizing their own power. With clever, original, and catchy music, this show even includes a song about mansplaining. In the words of Kids’ Corner Radio Host, Kathy O’Connell, Ants on a Log is “rabble rousing through silliness.”

Since the 2016 Curious debut, the Ants have performed songs from the play at concerts and fundraisers, and the Curious soundtrack will be released this fall. The Ants will perform Curious twice as part of Fringe 2018:

away.
