The performance includes stories, projected images, and short films of disappearing mangrove swamps, coral reefs, oyster beds, seagrass, sand dunes, and mud volcanoes. 7:30 p.m. Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, 911 North University. $41–$51 (students $15–$20) in advance only at ums.org/season/2024-25-season or (734) 764–2538.
