The College Green Captains empower students and faculty in implementing sustainable production practices in theatre.

Notably, UTRGV's production of "Somewhere: A Primer or the End of Days" exemplified sustainable design choices, utilizing reusable and recycled materials such as cardboard and prioritizing wood over plastic for scenic designs. The production also showcased creative props, using 350 used chip bags to craft butterfly puppets and opting to purchase used sleeping bags and backpacks.
