LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN DO AND FORGET ABOUT THIS COLD WEATHER FOR A FEW HOURS?

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN DO AND FORGET ABOUT THIS COLD WEATHER FOR A FEW HOURS?

I am a proud mother of a breaking out, new young actress! My daughter Aleigha (back row, last one on the right) has been accelerating her acting skills and will be in the upcoming Towngate Children's Theatre presents “The Reluctant Dragon.” 

This show will be an exciting children’s show that’s certainly for big kids, too.  It’s the story of a peace-loving dragon and his young friend, Glaston.  They face challenges of prejudice and misunderstanding as they take on the villagers of Guildemere, who blame the dragon for their misfortunes.

These very important learning life lessons are presented in such a fun way to all that everyone attending is guaranteed to have a great time and hopefully come away with a better outlook on perceptions and others in general.

The show opens at 7 p.m.,Friday, January 30.  There are additional show times as well. Tickets can be obtained by calling (304) 242-770.  At 3 p.m., Saturday, January 31,  children can stay after the show for a special “Dragon Faire.”  There is a variety of themed-activities including maypole dancing, face painting and juggling with the Court Jester.

Good luck Aleigha and all the cast.  All the hard work and time you dedicate deserves applause and recognition because your love of the art that brings smiles to so many faces is admirable, at least the way I see it.
