Big Green Theater (BGT) is a new program developed by The Bushwick Starr that combines environmental education with an annual green theater festival. Over the past 6 months, we’ve been working with a group of local Bushwick kids to explore environmental topics. Throughout this time, the students have written 10 original environmentally-themed plays. At the Big Green Theater performance festival, we will premiere these new works, which we have produced with an ensemble of professional actors, directors, and designers. The plays have been created using only green theater methods (recycled materials for sets and costumes, fluorescent and LED lighting, paperless programming, etc.).
This program is operated in collaboration with our partners:
Still Waters in a Storm
