CALLING ALL TEACHERS
Yesterday afternoon, teachers from around the southland gathered in the Lewis Family Playhouse to hear about the exciting 2007-2008 Theater for Young Audiences season. Featuring a great mix of shows for all grade levels, this upcoming season offers more opportunities to integrate theater arts in the classroom.

Beyond the outstanding curriculum guide (check it out -- its very cool), theater staff have forged a partnership with California State University San Bernardino's Master's in Theater Arts Education program. This partnership offers the opportunity for teachers and their students to have class visits by trained theater arts teachers! To find out how your class can participating in this unique and exciting opportunity, contact Murray Hepner in the Lewis Family Playhouse (909)477-2775 ext. 3734; murray.hepner@cityofrc.us.

Don't forget to book your shows early -- they do sell out fast! Also, since you're here, why not add a tour of the Paul A. Biane Library on to your visit? Tours last approximately 1/2 hour, are arranged around theater performance schedules and can include time to browse and check out library materials. For more information about arranging a tour, contact Biane Library Tour Captain, Casey Marcarello (909)477-2720 ext. 5064; casey.marcarello@cityofrc.us .
