"Green Theatre"
is an important aspect
of Planet Connections.
Each year we educate our artists on how they can "make a difference" by
continuing to create great art while reducing their carbon foot print.
We are very proud of the strides our artists have made in this area thus
far.
We are showing artists everywhere how to "reduce, reuse and recycle"
while still creating gorgeous designs, getting fabulous reviews, and
packing their houses!

Specifically, we at
Planet Connections are:
- providing recycling bins on the festivity premises for aluminum,
glass, plastic and paper
- using Eco-friendly light bulbs in our festivity
lounge, bathrooms and other public areas
- using recycled and recyclable paper products
- cleaning with Eco-friendly products
- using cyberspace communication in lieu of paper as
much as possible
- using a “ticket less” box office with reusable tickets
which will be
collected from audience members as they enter the theatre, for repeated
use through out the festivity
- providing two collection bins,
one for each theatre, so that audience members can deposit programs
after each production for re-use
- hosting a Green Theater Forum to encourage and educate
our artists to go “green” within their productions
- providing our artists with access to Materials for the
Arts so that
they can use recycled materials for their sets, props and costumes
- providing our artists with access to TDF Costume shop
so that they can use recycled costumes instead of making new ones
Theater
people are some of the most creative, inventive people out there.
Together we can educate ourselves and create solutions. We hope our
efforts inspire others in the theater community and beyond.
