      members - especially Latinos and people who are even somewhat Bilingual with Spanish and English.  If you care

      and are excited about the educational and cultural benefits of future BILINGUAL MUSICAL THEATRE and ARTS

      programs to get the Anglo and Hispanic communities together, share cultures and teach both Spanish

      and English,  we need your help and support -- any kind of participation even if you don't have much time. 

      There is always something you can do - even just handing out flyers to your friends, neighbors or office, for

      BILINGUAL MUSICAL THEATRE  SUMMER CAMPS at the Arts Center is a big help.

          kids together to have fun and learn the disciplines of Theatre and the Arts, gain self-confidence, make new
