Entertainment for mother earth
Our mission beyond the stage…
Entertainment for Mother Earth is an initiative to make our work in the theater industry have a direct impact on helping to save Mother Earth and the beautiful lands and lives she nurtures.
Beginning in 2026, a portion of every theater ticket we sell will make its way directly into the hands of the JungleKeepers - an incredible organization committed to saving the Amazon rainforest, one acre, one heartbeat at a time. We can’t do the work they are doing, although sometimes we fall asleep at night wishing we could. But we can make a contribution. We can support their mission with our voices and the almighty dollar.
