Our mission is to mobilize the Colorado performing arts industry toward climate-positive practices.
Arts and Culture is often left out of the conversation when it comes to sustainability, including access to strategic and financial assistance for greener practices. Greener Theatre Colorado strives to bridge that gap by partnering with theatre companies and performing arts venues to find ways to reduce their environmental impact without breaking the bank.
Our founder, Meagan, is an audio engineer in the Colorado theatre with a passion for climate action. For more than half of her theatre career she has been a constant advocate for reducing waste backstage. Eventually, she found inspiration in sustainable theatre efforts in New York and the UK and decided to bring that movement to her home community of Colorado and founded Greener Theatre Colorado.
Our goal is to bring awareness to the role theatre can play in climate action and inspire theatre makers and their companies to strive for a greener industry every day. So far we have hosted discussions and events to inspire folks in the theatre community and began our waste diversion program with electronic waste recycling. We hope to expand our waste diversion programs to reduce contamination in front of house areas, reduce production waste, and ultimately assist theatre companies and venues in sustainability strategies and capturing metrics.
Your donations go a long way to ensuring we have the capacity as a team to help the theatre industry find the funding and the assistance they need to make positive changes.
