v H2O MANIFESTO COMING MAY 8^th to YREKA COMMUNITY THEATER

1:15 to 3pm: Special presentation of excerpts of H2O Manifesto for Siskiyou County high school students with local resource and industry professionals. 

7:30pm:  H2O Manifesto, an original dance, music, and theater production about a Northern California farming family that must face some hard decisions when a water bottling company offers them a huge financial incentive to sell the rights to their spring. As they question the "value of the water" they come to realize that it runs far deeper than simple economics.  Audience members are invited to share their thoughts and ideas at the professionally facilitated “post show” forum.

Written, directed, choreographed, and arranged by Krista Miller, co-written by Jason Gigliotti, with a musical score by GRAMMY nominee Gentle Thunder with additional composition by David Schanaker, Krista Miller, and Tom Pincince.
