Storytelling: Acme Theatre Company and UNICEF Awareness, Sunday October 19, 2008
2:00 - 3:00 p.m., Members of the Acme Theatre Company in Davis will present an adaptation of the classic French fairytale "Puss in Boots". There will be opportunities for children and parents to interact with the actors after the performance. All donations at the storytelling performance will be given to UNICEF.
The audience will share in the adventures of
William and a daring cat in boots as they encounter a kingdom under
attack from an ogre. With some smooth talking and feline grace Puss
ensures a happy ending.
Acme Theatre Company is an independent, self-sustaining community theatre group for young artists of high school age. Its mission is to present plays of high literary quality while providing opportunities for young people to learn various acting and technical skills. Acme Theatre Company is an organization run entirely by the young people themselves under the direction of a small cadre of adult mentors.
