A great community deserves great, varied theater. It should involve many in the community and expose them to the arts, and the joy of working together to put on something amazing. It should involve families, and it should help children gain confidence in themselves and their abilities. It should make you feel something, help you share something. Sometimes it is laughter. Sometimes it is thrills and excitement. Sometimes it is passion, empathy and caring. Sometimes it should challenge you and make you think more deeply about things, about how you can be a better person, and how you can make society better.
I Never Saw Another Butterfly does all these things, and more. A story about Jewish children during the Holocaust, it is a play that will leave you transformed. I have seen a production of this that Flying Dragon did a year or so ago, and it is very affecting and very worthwhile to see.
Please note the times above, starting tonight at 7 PM, at the Flying Dragon Arts Center, on Tebeau Street next to the Downtown Sandwich Shoppe, in the old bus depot building.
Donations accepted (I encourage a hefty one). This theater is doing good work. They have spent blood, sweat and tears revitalizing their theater. They are helping many children gain confidence and become better performers, and more importantly, better people.
And they are bringing, as part of their repertoire, magnificent socially conscious plays.
Don't miss this production!
