Christopher Kaufman's THE PHANTASTIC THEATER Continues 5/7 at Brooklyn Commons

Composer and multi-media artist Christopher Kaufman will present the third performance of his The Phantastic Theater series on Saturday, May 7 at 11:00 AM at Brooklyn Commons Community Center and Cafe, 388 Atlantic Avenue (between Hoyt and Bond) in Brooklyn, NY.

Performers will include internationally renowned flutist and composer Robert Dick, composer Christopher Kaufman, singer, actor and resident young artist Sofia Rose, and special guests.

Springing from the traditions of the fine arts, The Phantastic Theater presentations introduce young people to the transformative power of imagination though engaging, educational and entertaining works of multi-media art and remind 'grown-ups' of the time when they first experienced the arts. Designed as an experience for families, their 'transmedia' presentations include live music, orchestral music flowing through speakers, projected illustrative art and text, voice acting and dance.

Tickets for the May 7 event are $10 adults/$9 children (free under 3 years of age), and will be available at the door on the day of the show. Much more about the program at http://soundartus.com/the-phantastic-theater/.

The May 7 presentation is part of a series of such events and is part of Dr. Kaufman's ongoing The Phantastic Theater project. Much more about the program at https://soundartus.com/the-musical-forest-workshop/.
