Dreamers Performance/Media Alert

Don’t miss an evening at the Weinstein Jewish Community Center on Sunday, April 22 at 7:00 PM to see one of Richmond’s most innovative and interesting theatre troupes going to work to make the performing arts more accessible to everyone. Last year the Dreamers shared a typical day in high school with Scrapbook Memories. This year’s show promises even more entertainment and fun as the Dreamers present Dream It. Do It. Dreamers is a group of dedicated actors who have the opportunity to showcase their abilities while learning transferable skills. Dreamers makes the performing arts more accessible to everyone while breaking down various stereotypes of disabilities to the world at large.

Tickets are $7.00 at the door and $5.00 in advance. Advance tickets can be purchased at Lipstock Laser & Cataract Center, 3701 Westiere Parkway, Innsbrook, just off of Cox Rd.

Want to get involved? Dreamers seeks volunteers and donations to help make its program and productions successful. Dreamers is sponsored by VSA arts of Virginia and the Weinstein Jewish Community Center.
