BIG GREEN THEATER: HARBOR SCHOOL
That's a wrap on our 14th year of Big Green Theater eco-playwriting for public school students! Last fall a group of paid Youth Fellows at the NY Harbor School on Governors Island wrote a brilliant and bonkers new play called To New Drowsy: A Ferry Tale, inspired by NYC's intertwined water and environmental justice problems and visions for the future. This spring, we held auditions at the school, hired adult artists, made some cute rat puppets, and formed an intergenerational ensemble to bring the students' play to life. On May 23-25, we offered free performances of To New Drowsy at LMCC Arts Center on Governors Island for audiences of students, teachers, and the public.
