Event Highlights
Theatre Arts for Kids Presented Fairy Tale Forest!
The Friend Historical Society and Theatre Arts For Kids held a week-long camp for youth ages 7-15.
On Friday, June 5th, an amazing performance of Fairy Tale Forest was given for over 120 parents, relatives, and community guests. Did you ever wonder what happened to Cinderella after the ball? Watch the video on the Friend Historical Society Facebook Page to find out.
The camp was attended by 30 youth from 10 schools. Many parents commented how excited their kids were to have this arts opportunity and how much they had learned about presenting in front of a group. Just imagine how wonderful it will be to hold this performance in the renovated Opera House theater upstairs.
Thank you to all our supporters for making this opportunity available in Friend!
