Children's Musical Theatre San Jose Celebrates 'Earth Day' With Recycling Campaign

This 'Earth Day' the performers at Children's Musical Theater San Jose have incorporated an Earth Day theme into their upcoming show.

The cast of LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, performed by CMT Mainstage (ages 14-20) have taken a different path. Director John McCluggage suggested the song, "Somewhere That's Green" become a call to recycling.  Local e-recycler, GreenMouse Recycling owner Evelyn O'Donnell said, "Great! Getting kids involved in their community is what recycling is all about. Face it, a world without recycling is truly a shop of horrors!" GreenMouse, Inc. is a San Jose-based company providing electronics collection and computer recycling services to businesses and residential consumers throughout California. The cast is supporting the recycling effort in the rehearsal hall and promoting GreenMouse's recycling efforts in the show's program. "One of our guiding principles at CMT is to provide a positive nurturing community and we believe encouraging our performers and patrons to give back is part of that," said Ann Hurst, managing director of Children's Musical Theater San Jose.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS is the story of a down-and out skid row floral assistant who becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon "Audrey II" grows into an ill-tempered, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination!
