CATA Performance Marks Fifteenth Anniversary - April 16, 2008
GREAT BARRINGTON – Community Access to the Arts will present its fifteenth anniversary performance at the Founders’ Theatre in Lenox on Saturday, May 3rd at 6 p.m. and Sunday, May 4th at 1 p.m. The Saturday evening performance is followed by a gala dinner at Berkshire Country Day School. The annual performance weekend is the organization’s largest fundraiser attended by 600 people.
Community Access to the Arts (CATA) provides arts workshops for 550 people with disabilities throughout Berkshire County. This year’s show, CATA’s Greatest Hits, features reconstructions of popular past works and new material developed by CATA faculty artists. Executive Director, Sandra Newman, commented, “We’re so lucky to be doing this work in the Berkshires! This beautiful community has embraced CATA’s exemplary model for creative social change.”
The show includes excerpts from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” performed by CATA’s Shakespeare’s Players under the direction of Barby Cardillo and Diane Prusha, a medley of songs written by Vikki True and Bobby Sweet performed by the CATA Serenaders, and a recreation of “Common Ground,” a dance directed by Dawn Lane featuring a cast of dancers with mixed abilities and guest artist, Liz Thompson.
Community Access to the Arts’ mission is to nurture and celebrate the creativity of people with disabilities through shared experiences in the visual and performing arts. This year’s performance is supported in part by grants from fourteen Berkshire County Cultural Councils and The Boschen Fund for Artists at the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
Tickets for the Saturday evening show are $95, $175 with dinner and reservations are required. Suggested donation for the Sunday matinee is $30 with reservations recommended. For more information, visit www.communityaccesstothearts.org or call (413) 528-5485. |
