An adult's right to play

Make a replica of this but just change the word child to adult and it still holds up.

Or; let's go a step further and just get rid of the word "adult" the same day we get rid of Daylight Savings Time.

"Adult" is just a myth perpetuated by Big Adult to make us work harder so they have more money to PLAY with.

We're all children. We're just big children who drive and swear and get back pain from tying our shoes. And we all want the same thing: the freedom to be ourselves.

Don't write-play as childish.

It's the real deal.

Here's some killer books I've downed over the last few years while building The Other Comedy Company that has informed a lot of our program, game and event decisions that are guiding future projects.

BOOKS ON PLAY (perfect book club & team reads):

- Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play Element in Culture by Yohan Huizinga

Also good adds if you're building a personal curriculum and looking to branch out and learn more about the serious necessity of play.

Okay bye.
