Me and Debry!

A Grab-and-Go Education Kit

For: Grade 5 – adult
Topic: Marine Debris Prevention
 
Me and Debry is a half-hour, whimsical, audience participation, theatrical performance about litter (marine debris) prevention. The rhyming script was written by David Daniel of American Players Theatre. It is designed for both formal and informal educational settings. The play “stars” two characters typically cast to adults or advanced readers and features four “supporting” roles, typically performed by audience members. The play was designed for fifth grade students however, audiences of all ages will appreciate the central message of “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!”
 
The educational kit contains a copy of the full script, character scripts and the 8Rs documents in English, Spanish, and Hmong, props, and costumes.
