As the day grows closer, more local businesses are lining up to partner with Cabrillo Music Theatre's PART OF OUR WORLD! This free, family-friendly event, a collaboration between Cabrillo Music Theatre, PawWorks.Org, and Sheroes Entertainment, LLC, provides an afternoon of fun, adventure and music, as well as an opportunity to learn about animal adoption - and maybe even take home a new family member! PART OF OUR WORLD takes place on Saturday, June 11th, from 1:00PM to 4:00PM, in Carpenter Park, directly outside Cabrillo Music Theatre's home venue, the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.
Jo-Ann's Fabric Store of Thousand Oaks has stepped up in a big way, providing both materials and an instructor guide for some of the art projects. And Oh My Gosh Hot Dogs, a local mobile gourmet hot dog company, joins Kona Ice, providing delicious food for the event, and donating a portion of the proceeds back to Cabrillo's Outreach programs.
After enjoying food and art projects, settle back for some great entertainment. Cabrillo Music Theatre has arranged for one of the stars of THE LITTLE MERMAID to sing! Conor Guzman, who plays "Prince Eric," will enchant the crowd with music, joined by other cast members. And don't forget that "Ariel" herself will be on hand to sing, as well as pose for pictures with guests.
"A very big thank-you to Jo-Anns and Oh My Gosh Hot Dogs, who have stepped up for PART OF OUR WORLD," says Lewis Wilkenfeld, Cabrillo Music Theatre's Artistic Director. "Local organizations like Cabrillo Music Theatre, Sheroes Entertainment and Paw Works are happy to partner with companies that give back to the community!" Adds Wilkenfeld, "And PART OF OUR WORLD gives us a chance to show off the amazing talent, much of it local, that will be at the heart of Cabrillo's THE LITTLE MERMAID!"
PART OF OUR WORLD is a full afternoon of family fun. Paw Works will host a meet & greet event for parents and kids to visit with abandoned pets looking for permanent homes and to learn about animal rescue. The local non-profit organization is dedicated to providing unwanted animals a second chance at life and has rescued more than 1,800 dogs and cats in just over two years. Sheroes Entertainment, LLC, a locally-based company that provides, among other things, mermaids (and pirates!) for entertainment events, will provide activities for all ages, including an opportunity for your littles ones to try on a mermaid tail, plus face-painting, balloon-making, and much more. In addition, mermaids and pirates will roam the event, posing for pictures and making new friends!
Admission is free, of course! Just bring yourself, your family, your picnic blankets and your imagination! Go "Under the Sea" on June 11th, with Cabrillo Music Theatre's PART OF OUR WORLD!
