Our area has a major secret gem.  It's called Arts Alive Fine Arts Studio.  Brittany took acting from them this year and already had her performance...she was Queen Ellen in an original play written by the teacher that slightly resembled the prince and the pauper, with a Christian twist, if you must know ).  They also have ballet (the performance was last weekend...excellent...which is completely written and choreographed in-house...AMAZING) and music lessons and dance, tap, jazz, etc...the purpose of Arts Alive is to bring the arts back to God.  The whole area of art has taken a nose dive in the last generation or two and has become almost exclusively the world's domain...but this little secret in Burlington is doing it's part to change that!

This weekend...Friday and Saturday night, the senior acting class will be performing The Hiding Place (about Betsy and Corrie Ten Boom during WWII).  My kids and I have read the book twice already and they can't wait to see the play.  The book is obviously heavy, but God shows Himself so faithful and so powerfully even during those dark times and that is what shines through the book and, I'm sure, the play!

Please come if you don't have any other plans...or change your plans .  Tickets are available through the Paramount Theatre of Burlington...get the details here. 

Hope to see you there!!

BTW...a good chunk of the actors and directors and stage crew and well, a bunch of people, are people we are priveleged to worship with each Sunday.
