Rainbows vs. Bunnies: Annihilation

Rainbows vs. Bunnies: Annihilation

by Bradley Walton

Aaron is failing History, and his parents are angry.

Worried and anxious, he goes to the park, where he meets a bunny…a talking bunny. Then a rainbow appears. It talks, too. Both the rainbow and the bunny are determined to make Aaron happy—and to best one another in doing so—even though they both seriously freak Aaron out.

Eventually, Aaron learns the truth…that for centuries, rainbows and bunnies have been locked in a bitter rivalry to make people happy, and now he has been drawn into their struggle. But today, a new revelation will lead to the beginning of the end. This is the day of Rainbows vs. Bunnies: Annihilation!

Praise for Rainbows vs. Bunnies: Annihilation

Joseph Murphy
Rogers Middle School
Like most of Bradley Walton's work, this play is super fun and very clever. There's humor for the students and parents alike. Everyone had a blast. Perfect for middle school.
Amanda Moisuk
Miller Comprehensive Catholic High School
This was a super fun play to put together. As the script has so much flexibility, it was great to have male/female role flexibility. It is well written, a crowd favourite, and super fun!
Lynne Childress
Building Better People Productions
So many rich opportunities for choral work and stage combat in this show.
