One More Year

One More Year: The Hilltop Pact is a lively, heart-forward 10-minute environmental comedy-drama 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 flair-this short play blends comedy, climate awareness, and big-hearted friendship into one compact, performable scene.

Perfect for classrooms, community groups, libraries, youth theaters, eco-clubs, book events, or anyone wanting a meaningful performance with minimal props and maximum spirit, The Hilltop Pact invites audiences to laugh, reflect, and consider the small choices that shape the planet.

Fast to rehearse, easy to stage, and full of warmth, this play stands on its own while offering a theatrical glimpse into the world of One More Year.

A story about friendship.

A story about choice.

A story about what happens when two people promise to keep what they already have-for one more year.
