Performance Network Theatre Presents JAMIE AND JORDAN to Close Children's Theatre Network 2012-2013 Saturday Series Season

The Children's Theatre Network of Performance Network Theatre invites audiences to gather at the theatre onSaturday, May 25th at 1:00pm for the perfect family summer kickoff, "Jamie and Jordan", a baseball themed musical about health and friendships with book and lyrics by Kim Carney and music by Gene Gaunt. Tickets are $7 for children, $10 for adults, and $20 for a family package of four. Tickets may be purchased at the door or online at performancenetwork.org, by calling 734-663-0681.

This hilarious musical tale teaches children about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and healthy friendships. Born in the same hospital on the same day, neighbors Jamie and Jordan are lifelong best friends. When a twist of fate (and an ankle!) separates them, they learn that healthy choices are worth the extra effort. Parents and guardians will love the educational content and the positive message, and kids will love the entertaining songs and humor, as well as the free milk and snack reception in the lobby after the show.

Children's Theatre Network is committed to providing education and entertainment to children and families in a safe environment. Although The Children's Theatre Network Saturday Series is coming to a close over the summer, the learning will continue with the Build-A-Play two week workshop from July 8th to July 18th. Suited for children ages seven to 11, students will learn improvisation, movement, and storytelling from Children's Theatre Network Director Becky Fox and Writer/Actor Anne Rhoades.

In addition to its Saturday Series, The Children's Theatre Network provides classes and workshops, engages in school outreach with the revolutionary "Get in the Game" program, and tours its shows to area schools and communities. For more information or to sign up, call734-663-0681.
