Fun Fundraising

Hello again, everyone!  Lindsay here reporting from the always sunny, florescently-lit Youtheatre office in the Arts United Center.

A big thank you for everyone who came to our annual fund raiser “Radio Daze” and supported the Youtheatre.  We would be nothing without your contributions and thanks to you, we can continue to support and positively impact over 16,000 area children each year through our shows, outreach, classes and scholarships.

We accept donations and contributions at any time, should you wish to give to the Youtheatre.  Just give us a call at 260.422.6900!  Put the you in Youtheatre!

It was a night of laughs and music as we went through the history of radio in an original production by Harvey and Leslie.  Head on over to our Facebook page to see pics of local treasures acting and singing in the program!

This coming Monday, February 13th, the traveling troupe will be at IPFW at Neff Hall (approx. 12:40pm) to perform a section from their “Suess on the Loose” collection “The Lorax”!  This is a seriously cute little performance, people.  I had the pleasure of seeing it a few days ago– and it further proves we have a lot of young talent here in our organization.  The purpose of this performance is to reach out to corporations for sponsorships.  Know anyone who would be interested in a sponsorship?  Let us know!

The wonderous Storybook Theatre is making its way around the area once again with their program “Just So Stories”.  How did the camel get its hump?  The elephant get his trunk?  The spider get her small waist?  Find out at a library near you with the free performance!

Upcoming performances:

Pontiac Branch: Mon, Feb 13 — 4pm  &  Fri, Feb 17 — 10:30am

Main Library, Children’s Section:  Mon, Feb 20 — 2pm

Tecumseh Branch:  Tue, Feb 21 — 6:30pm

Grabill Branch:  Thur, Feb 23 — 7pm

 

And finally in additional news, our very own Harvey Cocks will be in the lead role of “You Can’t Take It with You” at First Presbyterian Theatre on W. Wayne St. starting Friday, March 2 and running though Saturday, March 17.  Contact First Pres or go to their website for more information!
