Ecologist musical Mother Earth hits West Coast stages
Ron Thronson and Toni Shearer wrote and starred in Mother Earth, a ecology themed musical that opened at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa and moved to San Francisco after a four month sellout run. The duo, both 31, describe the show as a blend of song sketches and vaudeville with a strong social message. The production, initially staged by amateurs, gained backers and momentum, with plans for New York.
