Mrs. Inahurry and the Amazing Trash Converter

In 2001 Jim wrote “Mrs. Inahurry and the Amazing Trash Converter” as an Earth Day play for Tryon Elementary School.  The “Energy Song,” from the play, was performed by Woody Cowan's 1st grade music class.

Listen to the kids sing the “Energy Song” and follow along with the lyrics.

Thanks to Mrs. Wray and Tryon Elementary School's AG class, Tryon, North Carolina for their hard work.  

Mrs. Inahurry as the name implies is way too busy to think about recycling. As the play opens she and her two children are hurling and dragging trash to the curb on their way to running an impossible number of errands. Their neighbors are conscientious recyclers and eventually take the opportunity to introduce the Inahurry family to the benefits of recycling. The play runs approximately 15 minutes and can be easily performed by elementary school students.

A CD-ROM containing songs, sound effects, script, photos of costumes and props, and suggestions from the author is available.  For more information email .
