Appointments focuses in on The Flint Water Crisis from the point of view of a doctor's office. The narrator, a nurse, provides insight while the families share their stories. This play is appropriate for high school and middle grades. College drama programs may wish to adapt it for a younger adult audience as well. The play zeroes in on the facts such as: since April 2014, between 6,000-12,000 children have been exposed to toxic levels of lead that may lead to serious health issues in their futures including emotional and behavioral side effects as well as nutritional deficiencies. The poisonous water is also a probable cause of Legionnaires disease which has killed 10 people and infected at least 77 adults since 2014. Additionally it's a likely factor in the uprise of Flint area miscarriages since 2014 amongst the women in Flint community. At this point, people are finally being charged with crimes and the water is continuously tested, but politicians still are not helping like the community has begged and the sense of mistrust pervades society. This issue does not heed social status, race, ethnicity, sex, gender, or education-it affects us all. It is a humanity issue and this play appoints the audience as activists.
