theLASTree is a forty-five-minute family-friendly puppet show featuring seven vignettes with two main characters which are pre-recorded voices off. One is Mother Nature, the storyteller, who asks for help as she explains why she is afraid of the human-caused climate crisis: the consequences of deforestation, pollution and plastic waste, and the suffering of her ecosystems. In the end, she encourages the audience to engage in three fundamental sustainable practices: reduce, reuse, and recycle to protect the air, water, land, and all living creatures. The other character, the Last Tree, is an ancient tree, fed up with humans but who refuses to die. This production requires six stage crew members and twelve puppeteers to manipulate twenty-seven puppets, (one is a twenty-six-foot-long whale); one-hundred and forty-two cars and six soft set pieces on a large proscenium stage.
