They rehearse lines, learn dance routines, wear authentic costumes and get fabulous face painting, all magically coming together at the show. Be prepared to “travel over the rainbow” and go to places you can only dream of as you watch the children perform. It is not to be missed!

After the memorable performance (which is sure to bring a tear to your eye!), we proceed to a fabulous feast and some summer entertainment for the children.
