Arts Alive Day
Arts Alive Day is Wed., May 28!
Popcorn and drinks will be served at the morning break. A cookout of hamburgers and hotdogs with all the fixings will be held at noon. Michael Cooper will entertain us with masks and stories at Guilford Primary at the end of the day. Please feel free to stop in and visit us on this fun filled day!
Michael Cooper
He's got multiple heads, an enormous nose and a great sense of humor - all of which are blended together in a wonderful family entertainment performance. Michael Cooper combines exquisite, original masks, (some taking over 300 hours to create) and some masks that become puppet-like, with classical and original stories. Laughter and audience participation, a humorous and energetic style, and stories that encourage creativity, compassion, and a greater sense of self-worth are integral to performances. This is a one-of-a-kind performance! Be prepared to laugh!
Arts Alive T-shirts will arrive home prior to May 28th. Everyone will be wearing his/her Arts Alive T-shirt on Arts Alive Day. Please have your child save his/her T-shirt for that day. Thank you!
