Fidgety Fairy Tales 2

Tuesday, April 13, 2010, 6:30pm
St. Paul JCC auditorium

Fidgety Fairy Tales is great for all ages and families!
FREE public performance that re-imagines familiar fairy tales to raise awareness about children's mental health.

Another Mental Health Musical re-imagines familiar fairy tales to raise awareness about autism, post-traumatic stress and solving problems together when a child's anger is out of control. It combats the negative and damaging stereotypes that surround mental health and autism spectrum disorders by portraying children with disorders as the heroes rather than the villains.
Fidgety Fairy Tales 2 is an hour-long original musical performed by an ensemble of talented youth, ages 9-18, from all over the Twin Cities. The cast is a diverse group of actors both with and without a mental health disorder and/or autism spectrum disorder diagnosis.

Culture Club

Upstream Arts ♥ Highland Friendship Club ♥ St. Paul JCC
This spring, Upstream Arts, Highland Friendship Club and the St Paul JCC are joining forces to offer Culture Club, an exciting arts program for young adults. Each week we will attend a play, performance or visit a cultural institution in the heart of St Paul's Cultural District. The next day we will meet up at the St Paul Jewish Community Center to discuss these art experiences, and participate in interactive arts activities led by Upstream Arts' teaching artists. Join as we head to the Ordway to see a great show or the Fitzgerald to check out some ballet.
You will learn how to appreciate and enjoy many different art forms all while having fun socializing with your peers.
