DIRT The Secret Life of Soil

EAST MEREDITH - On Saturday, June 11 at 2pm, the West Kortright Centre presents Arm-of-the-Sea Theater’s new mask & puppet production, DIRT: The Secret Life of Soil. Fusing cutting-edge science and age-old puppetry, DIRT takes audiences on an extravagant journey of discovery into the ground beneath our feet. Featuring live music and puppet figures ranging from 12″ to 12′ tall, the show reveals the photosynthetic alchemy of plants, the fungi’s dance of mutual delight, and the microbes’ herculean labors.

This event is free and open to the public. Outdoors, weather permitting. Check the West Kortright Centre’s website or social media for updates regarding inclement weather. Space is limited. Save time and receive weather postponement notifications by registering in advance at westkc.org. Donations welcome. Bring your own lawn seating. Please arrive at least 15 mins early. Grounds open at 1pm. Picnickers welcome; masks encouraged.

DIRT is made possible by funds from the A. Lindsay & Olive B. O'Connor Foundation and the Robinson-Broadhurst Foundation, by grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, and by the generosity of our community sponsors The Andes Hotel, Bovina Montessori, Catskill Country Living, Ecoagents, and Christine Egan & Scott DeSimon. This is the first of the 2022 West Kortright Centre Songbird Sessions, a series of free outdoor family events. The West Kortright Centre is located at 49 West Kortright Church Road in East Meredith.
