Elementary school can be tough: Your cootie-catcher has gone all cryptic, your recorder has started barking, and it turns out the victim of your egg-drop experiment had a wife and family and they want answers!
80% clown show, 40% sketch comedy, 10% macaroni art, and 22% we haven’t learned to do percentages yet, this whirlwind comedy follows the (class) clowns of Mallowmarsh Elementary as they battle their way through the snack-time stock exchange, the horrors of health class, and the rough and tumble world of indoor recess to answer the age-old question: I know you are but what am I?

Land acknowledgement
The artists of Mallowmarsh Productions wish to recognize that the land on which we work, gather, and perform is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat Peoples, and is covered by Treaty 13. We wish to recognize the traditional caretakers and storytellers of this land, as well as the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples who continue to make it their home. We are privileged to be able to gather and share stories here.
In recognition of the ongoing effects of colonization, Mallowmarsh will be donating 10% of the profits from this production to Wigwamen Incorporated, Ontario's oldest and largest urban Aboriginal housing provider.

Audience participation details
This production features what we like to call, "gentle participation" from the audience. The audience as a whole may be polled for a response and/or a suggestion, the performers may enter the area where the audience is seated, and may ask an audience member to hold onto a prop for later. At no point will an audience member be required to leave their seat, or be singled out in conversation.
Sensory description
"Milk Milk Lemonade" is a fast-paced comedy, made up of multiple short scenes and sketches. Two actors play multiple characters; they wear numerous costumes and often wear red clown noses.
Much of the show is very physical: some sections have no dialogue and are entirely movement-based, while other sections rely more heavily on dialogue. There are sound effects, including a voice played over the speakers giving instructions and warnings to the characters on stage.
There are multiple short blackouts between scenes.
Some scenes will involve food, including candy, marshmallow, carrots, milk, and eggs (cooked and raw) which may result in mild food smells.
Although some sections do rely on dialogue, other sections of the show can be enjoyed by those who are deaf or hard of hearing. It may be more difficult for those who are blind or vision impaired to enjoy the show fully, due to its physical nature.
