 Lizzy
is the tallest girl in her class, maybe even the whole
school. What do you do when you’re in Grade 4, you don’t
fit in, and your once best friend ignores you? You try
to make yourself invisible. You don’t draw attention to
yourself, you stay very still, so still your classmates
won’t even know you’re there. Lizzy practices being
invisible every day and she’s getting pretty good at it
too, until one day right in the middle of gym class,
she has the loudest, most gigantic sneeze EVER. A sneeze
so loud and so big that Lizzy’s sneeze comes to life!
THE BIG SNEEZE, a hilarious yet poignant new play,
follows the adventures of Lizzy (aided by her VOS - Very
Own Sneeze) as she navigates the hallways of her grade
school life, in all its challenges, learning that she’s
not quite as different from her peers as she thinks.
Dealing with issues of self-esteem and peer
relationships, THE BIG SNEEZE takes audiences on a
journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
From its beginnings, the primary focus of Axis
Theatre Company has been to educate and foster
appreciation for the performing arts in young audiences
throughout British Columbia. That commitment continues
with our newest production – THE BIG SNEEZE by Tracey
Power.
THE BIG SNEEZE is available for touring to
schools and community theatres in the Fall of 2011. Please
