Unlock the Acting Potential of Your Kids at the Forest Roberts Theatre
Introduction to the Kids Workshop
The Wildcat Performing Arts Academy is hosting a Kids Workshop on Saturday. From 10:30 a.m. to noon, the "Home for the Holidays Experience" will take place. This gives kids the chance to immerse themselves in the holiday spirit while learning about theater. After the workshop, there will be a matinee showing of Home for the Holidays.During the noon to 1 p.m. period when the matinee begins, kids will have the delightful opportunity to meet and take pictures with Santa. The event is specifically geared towards kids aged 12 and under, and event coordinators encourage an adult to accompany each child or group.Benefits of the Event
Managing Director Jalina McClain emphasizes the various benefits of this event. It includes fun crafts and activities that introduce kids to theater and dance. For those who are already seasoned performers, like the 6-year-old who has been on stage, it offers an opportunity to see how adult performers manipulate the art. It helps kids hone their existing talents and build their confidence.Kids will not only have fun but also gain valuable skills and experiences that will stay with them. It's a chance for them to explore a new creative outlet and potentially discover a passion for acting.Supporting the NMU Theater and Dance
Tickets for this event cost $30, and the proceeds will go towards benefiting the NMU Theater and Dance. By participating, kids are not only having a great time but also contributing to the growth and success of the theater department. It's a win-win situation for both the kids and the arts community.This event is a unique opportunity for kids in Marquette to engage with the performing arts and make lasting memories. It showcases the talent and dedication of the Wildcat Performing Arts Academy and provides a platform for kids to shine.Helping the Angel Tree Program
Pam Howard, the president and founder of Bikers for Kids in Need, emphasizes the importance of giving during Christmas. "Times may be tough for everyone," she says, "but Christmas is about sharing and making a difference." It's a joyous experience to take a tag and know that you're doing something special for a child in need.For seven years, they have been running the Christmas angel trees, and the need keeps growing each year. Unfortunately, most of the kids on the trees are asking for essential items like winter gear, warm clothes, and hygiene products instead of the typical Christmas gifts. They are one of the few programs that serve children of all ages, from 0 to 18 years old. Along with gifts, they will also be delivering full unprepared Christmas meals to ensure these families have a festive holiday.There are still 47 families' tags that need to be filled by community members. The participating Motorcycle Clubs include Barrons, CMA (Christian Motorcycle Association), Galloping Goose, Hermanos (Great Falls & Electric City Chapters), Horde, NumbSkullz, Servants for Christ (Set Free), Tenacious Dames, USVMC, Warrior Creed, and The Wraith.Howard explains, "The items needed are listed on the back, along with their sizes. You can choose where to shop, get the items, and wrap them. It doesn't matter if it fits in one box or more; just make sure to tag it with the child's name from Santa Claus."The angel trees are located at Scheels and Go! Calendars Toys & Games inside the Holiday Village Mall on 10th Avenue South. Howard adds, "These youth will remember that someone they don't even know cared enough to spend time on them. You have the power to impact a child in your community without them even realizing it."All tags must be returned with the gift items by December 14th to either location. By coming together, we can make this holiday season truly special for these children in need.Unbeatable Cyber Monday Deals at Nordstrom
