Show Choir Charity Benefit is almost here! Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 7:00 pm
Happy Friday everyone!
Next week is the much anticipated Rock Bridge Show Choir 2015 Charity Benefit. I'm proud
to announce that the show choir kids voted and True North of Columbia was the
chosen charity. What a great organization!
If anyone isn't sure about True North, here is an excerpt
pulled right from their website:
"True
North emergency shelter provides a safe place for victims of domestic and
sexual violence fleeing from their abuser. Our statewide hotline is available
toll-free and provides referral information, emotional support and safety
planning twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year."
So, great
organization and great kids to raise money and awareness!
We are
going to have a fun night of performance and fund raising. This year, we have
had local businesses donate some great prizes to raffle off. We have
dinner certificates, hot yoga passes, a massage, gift baskets and a beautiful
necklace donated by L.C.Betz with a value of $300.00! I will recognize
all donations by their name at the benefit, there are just too many and I don't
want to forget one person or business. The raffle ticket cost will be
$1.00 per ticket, $5.00 for 6 tickets, and 10.00 for 12 tickets! We
wanted to give everyone a chance to win one of these great prizes.
So, my
"ASK" of you is to help spread the word
about the performance AND come enjoy our multi-award winning Rock Bridge show choirs,
knowing that every dollar from entrance fee
to any extra donation will go directly to True North.
We will also have places to drop your tangible donations
of diapers, baby wipes, toiletries etc., so please pick up something to drop in
our donation box. (A free raffle ticket for each donation in the box!).
So, let's
get this ball rolling! Tuesday, February 10th, 7:00pm at the Rock Bridge Performing Arts Center.
Thank you
to all the volunteers and parents of these great kids!
Any
questions? Please call me, Brenda Mertz at 573-424-2493, or email me at madibren@aol.com. I can't wait for next
Tuesday! Call the ticket reservation line to reserve your tickets! 573-214-3119.

"The Dining Room" presented by RBHS Advanced Acting Dec. 4,5,6 @ 7pm
The Dining Room
Dec. 4,5,6 7:00 pm
Ticket Prices: $6. adults; $4. Students with ID, Free with RB Activity Pass
Ticket Prices: $6. adults; $4. Students with ID, Free with RB Activity Pass
This production presented by the Advanced
Acting Class is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the
place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and
all special occasions. The action is a mosaic of interrelated scenes that are funny,
touching and rueful and when put together, create an in-depth portrait of a
vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP.
The actors change roles, personalities, and ages with great skill as
they portray a wide variety of characters, from little boys to stern
grandfathers and from giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids. A story is
woven through the varied scenes into a theatrical experience of exceptional
range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity. Come and be
entertained by our amazingly talented Rock Bridge Students!
