Musical Puppet Play

(Performance Confirmation Form) (Performance Review Form) (Press Release)

WATERSHED HARMONY is a musical puppet performance aligning with the Mississippi Curriculum Framework and National Science Standards. Audiences of all ages will delight as Bobby Bass and his River Town friends share their experiences in environmental stewardship through this toe-tapping musical. Performances are enjoyed not only by school groups, but also by adults attending teacher workshops, civic clubs, and conferences. This program serves to inform and enlist the help of citizens in an on-going effort to promote water quality in their communities. Everyone is needed to promote Watershed Harmony!


River Town suddenly becomes a hustling and bustling community when a large manufacturing company builds a plant next to Clear Bottom River. Practically overnight, this progressive town begins building more schools, homes, roads, and stores. Citizens are very happy that their town is thriving and there are jobs for nearly everyone. Because things happen so fast in River Town, the citizens don't consider a plan to protect their natural resources. One day, a terrific rain storm comes and washes large amounts of soil, litter, and pollutants into the river. Fish and other aquatic life suffer, and Bobby Bass vows to help his river friends. When the River Town citizens discover the polluted runoff, they seek help, and develop a plan to use Best Management Practices (BMPs) to keep pollution out of the river.

The "Concerned Citizens" organize a Water Quality Steward action group. They pitch in and clean up the river, replanting trees and shrubs along the river's edge. Over time, the river regains its health, and the fish and other aquatic animals return to the river.

Please join us on this musical adventure which demonstrates that its' everyone's responsibility to keep our water clean!
