This Art is for the Birds Perfomance

This Art is for the Birds is a comedy parable to help us all learn to save our planet! Led by Robin VanLear (creator of Parade the Circle), community members of all ages who participated in summer camps and workshops first performed this piece this past summer at Coventry PEACE Park and will now make their second debut at the University Heights Fall Festival in Walter Stinson Park. For these workshops and camps, Robin was joined by area artists: Story Rhinehart Cadiz, Eric Coble, Raja Freeman, Marlon Hatcher & Diane Sette. All costumes, scenery have been created by hand by the participants in these summer series. Join your friends and neighbors for a truly unique community theatre experience. The show will begin at 12:00 pm.
