Celebrate nature and all the simple things we can do to help with Diane’s beloved, interactive performance. Wonderfully entertaining and yet rich in its ‘care-full’ message, Blue Planet includes Diane’s original water conservation tale “What Now, Cloacina?!” the hilarious story of a water sprite who dives into Boston’s sewage system in search of her reservoir. This special family entertainment is packed with stories and songs of nature’s awakening including talking earthworms and a  participatory recycling adventure! What shines through the entire performance is a love and respect for our place in nature; with many ideas communicated about how we can make a difference.
