Information: Columbia Marionette Theatre(CMT) will introduce a newly revamped Litter Trashes Everyone show.  PalmettoPride strives to keep our programs fresh and effective.  With that in mind, CMT has created a new set, new characters and revised the script.  CMT created the 25-minutes marionette show four years ago for PalmettoPride as part of its education campaign.  Litter Trashes Everyone is a fun, interactive education tool that is free to all South Carolina students grades K – 4.  On average, 55,000 children see the show each year.
