Sustainable Touring Guide

A free guide to greener touring practices at venues around the United States

We know it can be challenging to maintain sustainable practices while on tour. In collaboration with BGA touring and venue Green Captains, we have compiled this resource to help facilitate the quick implementation of sustainable practice on the road.

Use the dropdown menu below to select your city and venue. From there, you can see the venue’s recycling practices, nearby resources and vendors, and local environmental organizations.

This information is intended specifically for individuals working onstage and backstage at touring theatre venues. For information about recycling practices for audiences and local residents please contact the venue directly.

Looking for information about sustainable practices at touring music venues? Check out our partners at REVERB. Looking for information about how to take climate action on Broadway? Visit our Toolkits and Guides and Case Studies page for more information.

We are constantly updating this website with new information and resources, based on your feedback. Did you find a great greenmarket near the theatre? Are you with the venue and want to send an update to the recycling procedures? Are we missing your venue? We welcome all feedback and look forward to hearing from you!

Please use this form to submit new information, updates, and feedback. Safe travels!
