Robot Song

When it comes to friends, juniper has no idea what all the fuss is about. In fact when classmates tease her for being like a robot she takes it as a compliment. She loves robots. They are rational and predictable two things that humans definitely are not.

But when eleven-year-old Juniper May receives a petition signed by her entire class stating that she is ‘the most hated person in the school’ her life is thrown into complete turmoil. Juniper is forced to step out of the safety of her ordered and rational world and confront the messy unpredictability of humans — and herself.

Juniper stops eating, she refuses to return to school, and her parents become increasingly desperate. Finally, after exhausting all other avenues her parents resort to the only thing they have left, a giant singing robot.

Robot Song is a genuine family show. It is joyful and full of hope. It is for any child who has ever felt isolated, and any parent who is desperate for tools to help an isolated child. The show employs cutting edge digital technology, animatronics and a beautiful original musical score. Based on a true story, Robot Song illustrates the profound, transformative nature of creativity that, when combined with unconditional love, becomes an unstoppable force.
