SPECIAL THANKS
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
Lipscomb University Theatre Department is currently the only university theatre program in Tennessee that is recognized as an educational theatre member of the Broadway Green Alliance (BGA). We have both faculty and students who serve as “Green Captains”, who help our department stay aware of ways we can reduce our carbon footprint, our consumption of energy, and the amount of waste we produce.
This production of The Giver has been created with a mindfulness toward our environmental impacts and carbon footprint. Approximately 90% of the set you see on stage has been created from recycled or repurposed scenery pieces, which have been on stage in many other productions. All of the lumber and other building materials used for the set are sourced from certified sustainably harvested mills. The paints used are water-based, low or zero VOC, and almost all of the set will be recycled after the last performance to be used on future productions. The costumes as well, have been created from a mix that includes borrowed, reused and redesigned garments.Still other pieces are made from fabrics that come from our stocks. All the costume pieces will be saved after the show for future use. The lighting we employ is over 90% LED or low wattage fixtures, greatly reducing the energy needed to light the show as compared to conventional lighting fixtures. In rehearsals, every effort is made to avoid single use plastics, plastic water bottles, and other waste generating items.
