Sure, why not—stage sets are already a pile of discarded wood, paint, and cardboard, so with a bit of sorting you can turn that chaos into a nutrient‑rich compost that feeds the garden and feeds the audience’s conscience. Just make sure to check the paints for heavy metals, set up a closed system for wet waste, and maybe a tiny biofilter to keep the fumes from turning into a greenhouse gas cloud. It’s a bit of a logistical dance, but the applause could literally turn into soil, and I’ll even bring my art knife to carve up the cardboard for the rhythm.
