In "THE UPCYCLERS- An Earth Saving Musical," a group of ordinary kids, with all different abilities: Rosie, with her love of nature; Jack, with his innovation in technology; Marian, with her eye on design; Ralph, with his compassion; and Mikey, with his two wheels and one heart, take on a mission to save their community, their friendship, and then the planet! Along the way they learn no one is too small to make a big difference and that everyone can be a hero everyday!

This innovative theatrical production has designed all sets, props, and costumes from Reimagined, Reused, Recycled, and Upcycled materials! - Materials like "plastic pollution" rescued from The Upcyclers' monthly community clean up events! Follow their crafting adventures on instagram @Upcyclers_

Daniel Sugimoto, Director of "THE UPCYCLERS - An Earth Saving Musical," said "With 'THE UPCYCLERS - An Earth Saving Musical' you will see a 'You're-A-Good-Man-Charlie-Brown'-type cast that will connect, engage, and entertain audiences of all ages. You won't be able to help but feel inspired and hopeful with the original soundtrack of toe-tapping numbers, which little-ones may want to sing and dance along with. The colorful upcycled eco-conscious costumes, sets, and props will challenge the way you look at "garbage" and the impact we can make everyday.

While The Zoo Theatre Co. has produced original plays and musicals geared towards teens and adults, the creators, Daniel Sugimoto and Julia Lisa have an extensive background of children's theatre for the whole family! They spent 6 years writing, performing, and teaching children's theatre around Los Angeles for companies such as Creating Arts Company, Theatricum Botanicum, Fairies and Dragons, iLead, Ace Enrichment, and more.

Their new original musical The Upcyclers empowers kids to challenge the norms to create a greener life, because no one is too small to make a BIG difference!
