Recycling Pirates

"This show needs to be in every school." Jeannie Flinchbaugh,  
Head Start asst.  Parklawn Elementary School ( FCPS) 

 
A rollicking musical about puppet characters created from trash.   Led by Captain Jack Sparetire, they sail the urban seas looking for things to recycle, reuse, reduce and repair.   



       A great way to teach children about recycling. 

This show originally titled Junkyard Pirates,  was created under a Commission from the Wolf Trap Foundation and the Henson Foundation with DinoRock (Michele Valerie and Ingrid Crepeau).    It appeared for 3 years (2009-2011) as the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning's field trip performance at their education center.

Now it is available for groups like yours!
