COMPANY -- Puppet Improv Project
PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION -- Seeking performers for “Trash,” an original, eco-friendly puppet musical that presents a monster lesson for kids (and their adults) to reduce, reuse, recycle.

We are seeking performers who are interested or have experience in musical theater, improvisation, and/or puppetry.”
