Goucher College PodcastsGoucher Radio Theater Listens to the Environment - Episode 6: Human Invasion by Kristen WheelerHuman Invasion
by Kristen Wheeler
A new twist on the Martian invasion theme. As the play opens, three siblings, Azul, Illumi and Zircon meet for brunch… on Mars.
Playwrights’s Statement: One day, I was scrolling through social media and saw a post about a climate change protest and saw someone holding a sign that said, “There Is No Planet B.” Millionaires such as Elon Musk consider moving to Mars if the Earth gets destroyed. It’s predicted that humans will continue to practice colonization on other planets. This play tells a dark-comedic story from a Martian’s perspective.

Two children whose lives are disrupted by wildfire conjure a mythical sea creature as a way to restore hope.
Playwright’s Statement: Like many big ideas, the theme “Envisioning a Global Green New Deal” got me thinking from a childlike perspective in order to see into it more clearly and from the gut. Inspired by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I stuck onto the question—what is the future we want?—and gravitated toward her words that “we can be whatever we have the courage to see.”

Playwright’s Statement: This play came out of exchanges I’ve had with my uncle over the years. He is a fervent climate change denier who believes it is a hoax drummed up by lefty pinkos.

Playwright’s Statement: What inspired me to write this play was the question of how I would envision a world in which the Green New Deal would exist. I couldn’t see it. As a person obsessed with sci-fi and magic, the Green New Deal sounds too much like a deus ex machina device, a too-good-to-be-true solution to tie up loose ends.
