Glass Half Theatre’s award-winning production, Once There Were Six Seasons is back as a three-part interactive experience that invites audiences to travel the globe and explore humankind’s impact on climate change. Join us Earth Day Weekend as we reimagine and recreate our rapidly changing planet using recycled objects and textiles, from string and paper to recycled Styrofoam packing shapes, as rainclouds and river valleys, farmland and icebergs, diamond mine workers, polar bears, and islands sinking into the sea. In this new experience, the audience steps onstage with the puppeteers to observe ecosystems from the Americas, Africa, India, Asia, and the Arctic and watch as the tiny humans and animals struggle against drought, flood, heat and violent storms. Once There Were Six Seasons asks, “what have we done and what can we do?” Tickets: Sliding Scale $12-30$. Purchase at https://seasons.brownpapertickets.com. LIMITED SEATS! This intimate performance was created for a multi-generational audience (ages 7 and up welcome). More Info: [email protected] or (512) 541-9192

About the Once There Were Six Seasons Step onstage with the tiny puppet characters as they struggle to maintain their customs as their miniature landscapes are transformed by drastic changes to their climate patterns. Once There Were Six Seasons was featured in the Arts in Context documentary, Tiny Puppets from 2014. Part Two: The Global Arena Learn about solutions for climate change as WWE-style wrestlers battle one another for limited funding and support. Cheer for your favorite: “Alternative Energy,” “Carbon Capture,” “Mad Cow,” “Rubberman,” and “The Resourcerer.” Can they overlook their differences and band together to defeat their arch nemesis, Mz. Extinction? Part Three:  Explore different solutions to lessen your carbon footprint from home improvements to how you shop, through an interactive art installation!
