“The Trash Heap” Musical Production

Learn about recycling through an adventure with Kai as he learns the importance of practicing the 3 R’s and discovers ways he can Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. The HI-5 Recycling Program, Kokua Hawai’i Foundation, and Kahilu Theatre are partnering to bring “The Trash Heap” musical production to Hawai’i schools. Kokua Hawai’i Foundation is providing a free educational guide to accompany the production and further learning. The guide includes an activity for students to make musical instruments to be played during the performances. Teachers can obtain a copy of the guide here: “The Trash Heap” Musical Production. Performances of “The Trash Heap” begin October 2008. The first run of twenty shows will take place on O’ahu and the Big Island. To find out how your school can participate contact Jennifer Tosaki at (808) 586-4226.
