The play titled, The Secret of Tin Can City was a collaboration between director Shoshana Kuttner, playwright John Litten and a 26 member cast of Malibu children between the ages of 6 to 14. The play raises awareness of the environment, individual responsibility, and protection of earth’s natural resources. Complemented with original music and dancing, The Secret of Tin Can City is an entertaining and imaginative look at today’s pressing environmental topics.
