Serenbe Playhouse Announces TRASH TO TREASURE: Building the World of Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID

Serenbe Playhouse is excited to announce TRASH TO TREASURE: Building the World of Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID. Green theatre will take on a whole new meaning as Serenbe Playhouse builds an entire underwater world made completely from recycled materials. Bottles, cans, caps will come to life to create a magical world for Ariel and her friends to tell their tale!

ABOUT FROM TRASH TO TREASURE

Serenbe Playhouse is taking green theatre up a level and under the sea with our latest initiative! Trash to Treasure serves as the basis for collecting all materials to construct our upcoming spring production of Disney's The Little Mermaid. We will be re-purposing recycled trash and transforming it all into an incredible playground by set designer Shannon Robert with beautiful costumes by designer Erik Teague. As part of this project, we are actively involving our community by creating a central recycling collection center where anyone can drop off requested recyclable materials, such as bottles and bottle caps, aluminum cans, and plastic bags. Our artists will then take this vast supply of materials and transform them into Ariel's treasures! This initiative allows us to stay true to our mission of cutting-edge green theatre while finding the beauty in the everyday... there is magic all around us, sometimes you just have to recycle and look for it!

"The Playhouse is known for reinventing classics, and Disney's The Little Mermaid will be no different," says director Ryan Oliveti. "Today, more than ever, taking care of the world we live in is a topic at the forefront of most news sources. Our oceans need attention and cleaning. Creating a world of beauty out of the trash littering Ariel's world will not only create the greenest set in Playhouse history, but will also highlight the importance of taking care of the one planet we all share."

Items will be collected in Serenbe beginning on February 6, 2018. For more information on items and drop off, please visit http://www.serenbeplayhouse.com/support/trash-to-treasure.
