Synopsis

The Water Gun Song follows an everyday conversation between a parent and child. Following the child's play date at a friend's house, the parent tries to find the words to explain to a child why a water gun simply isn't a toy. The Water Gun Song is a short play written for multi-generational audiences to spark conversation about race in America.
