Aubrey the Snowflake, a one-act, is designed to be extremely flexible in its staging and presentation. There are roles for a cast of five to more than 100 to be portrayed by either male or female performers of any age. The piece can be presented by young children for their peers, or by adults for child audiences. The play's premiere performances were done by elementary school children for their peers. Costumes and set may be elaborate or simple. Five delightful songs for children's voices, kindergarten and up. Put an entire class on stage.

Aubrey is a snowflake in a hurry—in such a hurry, in fact, that s/he floats to the ground before winter has really set in. And you know what happens to snowflakes when it gets warm. With the help of some friends, like the ice cream Buddy Bars, and in spite of some grumpy unfriends, like a cold, cold heart, Aubrey lives happily ever after all winter long as a dancing, glittering snowflake.

"It provides an avenue for creative expression and role playing with a potential for fun...Music is lively and simple for children to learn."—BYU Children's Book Review.

The success of Marina Stockdale's William's Window , an introduction to Shakespeare's plays for young children, prompted her to write this modern make-believe tale. With lively, contemporary-sounding music and lyrics by Martha T. Griffith, Aubrey the Snowflake will delight children of all ages.
