STUDENT DRAMATURGY Story by the Junior Dramaturgs of Clairemont Elementary, with teacher Tom Seetoo, and the Junior Dramaturgs of the Museum School of Avondale Estates, with teachers Emily Gardner and Elaine O’Mast, Alliance Theatre Institute Teaching Artist Kim Bowers-Rheay Baran, and the Naked Mole Rat Experts at Zoo Atlanta.
FROM OUR JUNIOR DRAMATURGS: Naked mole rats are unusual and unique animals that lots of people don’t know about. We did the research for you so you can learn some cool facts about the characters in this hilarious play. SIZE AND APPEARANCE • Naked mole rats are very small, usually three inches long and weigh only 1.5 ounces to 3 pounds. They have tiny tails and long whiskers, and are pinkish in color. They’re very wrinkly and have no hair. They have two long teeth on the top and two longer ones on the bottom. They have very poor eyesight and five appendages (toes) on their four limbs (legs).

Since the naked mole rat is one of the most unusual and fascinating creatures in the animal kingdom, we asked our Junior Dramaturgs and our colleagues at Zoo Atlanta for some facts about these amazing animals.
