Prince George’s Publick Playhouse presents:
Gus Goes Green: Earth Day Edition

Tuesday, April 8, 2025, 10:00am and 11:15am

Prince George’s Publick Playhouse.

This performance is part of our Education on Stage Series and is recommended for Grades 2-6. Just in time for Earth Day, this play follows “Gus” (a giant dog puppet) who leads audiences on a STEM-inspired adventure around the globe. He uses clever resources to find creative solutions for a thirsty man in the desert, a wacky inventor, a toy maker and one very funny bug. Volunteers join Gus on stage to engineer a device for gathering water, build a unique toy from recycled materials and more! By the end of the play Gus and his friends use Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to find smart solutions to real-life issues. This show is designed to encourage young people to help the Earth through recycling, energy conservation, and creative thinking. Please note, everyone must have a ticket to enter, regardless of age. Schools can call 301-277-1710 for Group Sales.
