TrashBash
Live Performance at Culture Lab LIC
Sunday, July 14, 3-4pm
MacGyver for kids! We follow Maite and Pepe as they solve problems and have fun using only recycled materials and their imagination. With each adventure they prove, once again, that “One person’s trash is another kid’s treasure!”
In this adventure, our imagination travelers have finally made it to the stage to meet all their new friends in the audience. But...OOPS! They brought the wrong bags. They brought trash bags. YUCK!
Instead of panicking they remember that before trash was trash it was something else and, “You have the power to change things all by yourself!”
All materials provided just bring your imagination!
