“You Say Tomato” by Erika Kreutz is a children’s play about prejudice in the produce world. A giant tomato named Mato becomes insecure after hearing other fruits and vegetables snicker at her for not knowing which group she belongs to. However, after talking to other produce, including a rapping raspberry, a teary-eyed onion, a stand-up comedian orange, a computer wizard apple, and a Potato Fairy dressed with a pink tutu and a cigar, Mato learns that no matter what category she belongs to, she is still the same inside and is free to find a sense of belonging with everyone. It is a play about society, identity, belonging and friendships.
This is also a perfect opportunity for kids with a performance desire to join in a professional performance environment while learning valuable life skills while having a really great time and performing for friends and family.
