One More Year – The Hilltop Pact. A Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet Primer

One More Year: The Hilltop Pact is a lively, heart-forward short play adapted from Avis Kalfsbeek's novella One More Year, Book 1 in the Pedro the Water Dog Saves the Planet series. On a simple hike above a quiet mountain lake, best friends Tilly and Camas stumble into a moment that might just change everything. With Pedro the Water Dog breaking the fourth wall-and an optional chorus of Overconsumers and Keepers adding humor and visual contrast-this 10-minute scene blends comedy, climate awareness, and best-friend energy into one compact, performable adventure.
Fast to rehearse and easy to stage, this play stands on its own while offering a theatrical glimpse into the world of One More Year. It invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and consider the small, daily choices that shape our planet.
