Green Captain Programs
SUPPORTING GREEN THEATRE ADVOCATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WHAT IS A GREEN CAPTAIN?
A Green Captain is a green theatre advocate on Broadway, in their college theatre department, on their touring production, at their local venue, or anywhere else that theatre exists. Anyone from any department can be a Green Captain - the includes crew, performers, ushers, stage managers, designers, arts administrators, and more. Each Green Captain has the power to implement and encourage a wide range of environmentally friendlier practices. With the support of and resources from the Broadway Green Alliance community, they will help redefine the industry’s practices to be more sustainable.

We have to drastically change the way we treat our Mother Earth. There is no “exponential growth” in nature. We need to find ways to work with her, not against her.
I believe that fighting climate change is a social responsibility in which every single person can participate; this is why I love being a Green Captain — I can help my Broadway community by setting up systems to enable all of us to do our part for the planet while doing what we love on stage!
The longer we wait to solve the climate crisis, the harder it becomes to solve it. So in addition to pushing businesses and the government to adopt greener policies, I also try to challenge myself to carry my weight and change my personal behavior to protect earth, the only home we have in this vast, inhospitable universe.
I want to be able to one day tell my two little boys that I was part of the climate revolution that restored and regenerated their planet!
Every bit of good we can do counts! I’m a Green Captain because I believe that making even a few simple, sustainable choices can have a gigantic impact on the world!
Whatever I can do to promote a green and sustainable work environment that’s easy for us, I’ll do! Being green is a lifestyle. It’s a journey!
I volunteer as a Green Captain because it allows me to blend my passion for the arts and my love of the planet to promote sustainable practices in the theatre industry. As someone who gets to freely enjoy Mother Nature, I find a responsibility in sharing these sustainable practices to those around me to help insure the longevity of the planet.
I'm so excited to be working with the BGA while on the road! I've been a vegan for about 5 years, and I'm passionate about taking care of this planet while we still can. Maintaining a green lifestyle on tour can be really tough, but I'm eager to find meaningful ways to be sustainable and protect our planet despite that, and hopefully I can share some of the things I learn with my fellow road-mates.
After spending several quarantine hours watching David Attenboroug documentaries and reading "Garbology" by Edward Humes during the pandemic, I decided that I wanted to make some life long habits that could help save our planet. Now, coming back to Hamilton on Broadway, my goal is to encourage people like you to go green and create a legacy by ‘planting seeds in a garden you never get to see.’
I believe that building a better world starts within our small sphere of influence. I hope that the Broadway community can help inspire activism and awareness to make the world a more sustainable and equitable place.
I am excited to become a part of this Broadway team and to share in the opportunity to be thought leaders for environmental stewardship in this industry. The Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Company is committed to this magical planet and our role in protecting it for those to come!
I view theater as a way to inspire change within people so why not inspire people to help the world be its best self. We have so many opportunities for simple yet impactful eco-friendly changes we can each make on a daily bases.
I'm always striving for ways to improve my green practices and carbon footprint at home. It's only natural for me to carry those habits to work. I'm willing to help make green practice an everyday thing, to share what I know, and continue to learn!
Reducing my impact on the planet is important to me. Being a Broadway Green Captain allows me to expand my efforts and increase awareness within the theater community!
I am so excited to be working with BGA as a Green co-Captain for the Jersey Boys National Tour. As a vegetarian of almost 10 years and someone who cares deeply for the beauty that our planet has to offer, I look forward to working with our company to implement meaningful practices that will help benefit our environment and our community!
Once I noticed how much plastic I used in one day, I haven't been able to stop thinking of ways to reduce waste. I am very excited to bring some green to the First National Tour of Disney's Frozen!
I decided to volunteer as a Green Captain to help foster a greater sense of mindfulness towards our effect as a company on the environment. We may never offset our sizable carbon impact via fossil fuel consumption per transportation, but I believe we should do what is within our power. I am a longtime outdoorsman and nature enthusiast and I hope to preserve the great outdoors for generations to come.
I can’t wait to help facilitate positive change and environmental awareness in this cast and the Broadway community at large!
I decided to join BGA and become a Green Captain for Hamilton on Broadway because there are so many ways we can make the theater community a greener place, especially behind the scenes. I’ve learned so much from some of the BGA events and I’m honestly excited to learn more and get involved with helping out as much as I can. My plan is to find ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle as much as possible. We’ve got this!
