"The plays are little gems of creativity: From talking worms, to singing cormorants, to hurricanes personified as characters, they burst with imagination and show a deep concern for the world and the creatures that inhabit it. At The Bushwick Starr, Superhero Clubhouse crafts eco-theatre with Brooklyn students, fighting climate change one play at a time." - American Theatre Magazine
