HOW MANY WACKY FAIRY TALE CHARACTERS CAN YOU FIT IN ONE SHOW? ARTBARN TRIES TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN ITS APRIL FOOLS’ DAY FAMILY EXTRAVAGANZA

Artbarn Community Theater’s 6th Annual “Fun-raiser” features Artbarn teens

showcasing their improv skills as well as well a cast of local luminaries in

the fractured fairy tale, Ten in a Bed.

March 8, 2011 (Brookline, MA) – Artbarn Community Theater is

hosting an April Fool’s weekend family extravaganza featuring, for the first

time, its new Horsin’ Around improvisation troupe for teens. As always,

Brookline’s local luminaries will showcase their talents and senses of humor

in an original adaptation of the children’s book, Ten in a Bed. Artbarn’s

6th annual “fun-raising” event takes place on Saturday, April 2, from 6 p.m.

to 9 p.m., beginning with light dinner refreshments and ending with a

blockbuster show!

The annual event features something for everyone: a silent and

live auction for the adults, a special teen improv demonstration for the

kids and a hilarious family-friendly play for everyone. The event will be

held at the Hellenic College’s Maliotis Cultural Center at 50 Goddard Avenue

in Brookline.

For more than 12 years, Artbarn, an after-school theater arts

program, has given more than 1500 students of all ages a safe and creative

environment to explore the theater arts. The organization has never turned

away a child, providing scholarships for those in need. The fundraiser is

intended to help continue the worthy tradition.

Running a theater arts organization of Artbarn’s high quality

requires funding from many sources. About 80% of expenses are covered by

tuition. The rest comes from generous donors, charitable grants and

fundraising.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $30 at the door. Advance tickets

Artbarn show.
