by David DanielOn October 9, 2022 the world premiere of a half-hour, whimsical, audience participation theatrical performance focusing on marine debris, its impacts and what can be done about this issue was held at the Donald & Carol Kress Pavilion & Egg Harbor Library in Egg Harbor (Door County), Wisconsin. The performance featured Door County artists Cassandra Bissell and Neil Brookshire. Read more. “Me and Debry,” (pronounced “debris”) is part of a two-year project funded by Wisconsin Sea Grant with grants from the National Sea Grant College Program, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Marine Debris Program, U.S. Department of Commerce, and the state of Wisconsin. The project, called, “The Play’s the Thing: Using Drama as an Introduction to Marine Debris Prevention and Meaningful Stewardship Experiences” harnesses the power of storytelling to engage, educate and inspire performing artists and community members to be committed stewards of their Great Lakes watershed. In addition to the performance, the project includes marine debris prevention workshops, cleanup events, and public outreach and education activities. Coming soon! The script and a small prop and costume kit will be available for loan in late 2023. Check back soon!
