About Our Team:

Here at Cal Poly, we are kickstarting our annual mission of Staging Change, where we devise and produce a touring children’s show educating students on critical environmental issues and our impacts. This project is grounded in New Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and Disciplinary Core Idea 5-ESS3, Human Impacts on Earth Systems. Our team has been working diligently to bring this show to life throughout the Winter and Spring quarters in the TH-380 Theatre For Young Audiences course. We are a passionate, multifaceted group of students dedicated to making a difference through our innovative approach to children’s theatre and education.
