A civic engagement success story, the performance will showcase the transformation that can happen when people work together for conservation and environmental protection for future generations. The 50-minute multimedia performance will be followed by an interactive discussion by Marking. After a 15-minute intermission, Marking will share songs and stories from another of his creations, Our Mighty Mississippi – From the Headwaters to the Gulf of Mexico.
