MILLBROOK — Those curious about what’s really going on underfoot whenever they venture outdoors will be entertained by the answers when the Arm-of-the-Sea theatrical company performs “Dirt: The Secret Life of Soil,” on Saturday, April 12, at the Millbrook Village Hall, from 11 a.m. to noon.

Featuring live music, masks and puppet theater, the company that was founded in 1982 promises a visual story-telling experience for its audience. Familiar to locals, the Arm-of-the-Sea company served as artists-in-residence at the Cary Institute in 2014.

Co-sponsored by The Millbrook Arts Group and The Millbrook Library, the production is appropriate for all ages. Although the performance is free, registration is required on the website of The Millbrook Library. Village Hall is located at 35 Merritt Avenue.
