THE AMPHIBIANS
Set thirteen years in the future, The Amphibians follows best friends Simone and Bryn, two high-school students in coastal Florida grappling with climate change, growing independence, and the shifting dynamics of their friendship. When they make an unexpected ecological discovery in the woods near their town, what begins as a private escape becomes a test of responsibility, trust, and moral choice. As the situation unfolds, the girls must decide how to care for something fragile while also confronting what it means to grow up in a world shaped by uncertainty.
Fast-paced and often funny, The Amphibians is a near-future coming-of-age play that centers teenage voices while engaging timely themes of climate change, friendship, and ethical decision-making. The play features two strong female roles, imaginative yet flexible staging, and rich opportunities for discussion across English, theatre, and environmental studies classrooms.
