The Grand Presents the 2013-2014
The Grand is excited to present our 2013-2014 season of educational
performing arts events for children. As you know, these shows tend
to sell out quickly, so be sure to make your reservations early. Our
mission is to reach out to school-age youth and unfold the wonders of
live performance and theatre. The Grand offers enriching and
educational programs for children throughout the year. We have our
own Summer Theatre Camp, we offer winter acting workshops, we
are the home for The Eastern Maine Pops Orchestra (TEMPO), and the
Downeast Kid’s Chorus. We can’t do any of this without you! Thank you!
We appreciate your support!
If your school need assistance in finding bus funds for touring your kids
to The Grand, please contact the Maine Arts Commission-they have
funds to help schools with transportation money.
http://mainearts.mainegov/program_artsineducation_ticket.aspx.
We look forward to seeing you during the upcoming school year! If
you have any questions, or you want to reserve space for any of these
programs, please feel free to give me a call at 207-667-9500 or email me:
[email protected]. You can find everything Grand at
www.grandonline.org.
Sincerely,
Kristie Billings
Arts Education Coordinator
