Green MO'OLELO


I know some of you out there scoff at the idea that theater exists outside NYC. But, I am here to tell you it's true, it not only exists but is often exciting, innovative and refreshing theater. Check out Mo`olelo Performing Arts Company in sunny San Diego. They are not only focused on spearheading original work using all types of performance, but they have published a Green Theater Categories & Sustainable Guidelines Checklist for ALL companies to use. In it they include options for marketing, waste management, water management, energy management and more!

Not only can you use their website for guidance but they are open to answering your email inquiries and offer to give advice for any artist looking for sustainable practices. AND they are currently doing research to develop tools to measure the environmental impact of theater on communities so that the industry can make better choices! Follow their updates on their blog. This is definitely a company to admire and support. Who knew? Way to go San Diego!
