PERSEPHONE THEATRE SCHOOL MATINEES 2008/09
I will be organizing school matinees this season for the main series at Persephone....(not the Persephone Youth Series) They are usually appropriate for a high school aged audience. If your kids are younger and you are not sure, talk to me about it. I will be there to chaperone, so you can drop off your children with me as long as they are able to sit through the production.
The first show up is Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
Hi, I am the coordinator for the Children's Discovery Museum on the Saskatchewan (CDMS). We are a non-profit group working towards building a children's museum in Saskatoon. For more info on our group, please visit: www.museumforkids.sk.ca
We will be participating in the Fringe festival this summer with our traveling museum exhibits. I am wondering if you could post to your group for volunteers to help at our exhibit. This would be a wonderful opportunity for families to volunteer together, or for older children (13 and up) to come and volunteer. Our exhibit is open from 11-7 the whole week of the Fringe (July 31st-August 9th), and the volunteer hours are quite flexible.
Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions!
