Los Angeles-based site specific theatre company Switchboard Operations proudly presents THE CARNIVAL OF INEFFECTUAL CLIMATE ACTIONS. In this installation experience, the climate emergency is all fun and games, and you, the audience, are invited to partake in engaging activities, guaranteed to be 100% ineffectual for combating the climate crisis!

Choose from any of our useless stations:

  • Buy organic produce… from the other side of the world
  • Clone an extinct animal
  • Colonize another planet
  • Reforestation
  • Refreeze a glacier
  • Virtue signaling
  • Corporate responsibility buzzword bingo
  • Become a climate change influencer
  • Pin the blame on a developing country
  • Silence the activists
  • Bury your head in the sand

Do your part for the planet! We promise you’ll leave with a conscience as clear as a crystal-blue mountain spring!

The Carnival will also include a reading of Katie Pearl’s Appreciation and Chris Thorpe’s Not Because We’re Good.
