The Garbage Cantata
by Barry Keating, Jon Lonoff
Highlights
Synopsis
The three R's used to be Reading, 'Riting and 'Rithmetic, but today everyone must learn Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
That is what audiences discover in this hilarious musical comedy that brings a garbage dump to hip-hopping, finger-popping life.
Designed for high school and community players, the cast can be expanded and sets, puppets and props can be created out of recyclables.
