An endearing tale that focuses on the difficult issue of bullying and how mistreating someone because he or she is different from oneself brings as much harm to the bully as to the victim. Based on the Newbery Honor Book by Eleanor Estes. “When 'The Hundred Dresses' began I got the chills. I knew that those children in the audience were the children that needed to see it the most. The behavioral problems at the school are tremendous and yet they sat awestruck through the entire production. I was so touched and so hopeful. Hopeful that the students were touched as much as I was…" -Jillian Vukusich, Education Associate Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, West Palm Beach, Florida

Billy Jonas
"Everybody's in the Band”

Tuesday, June 19, 2012

The Florida Theatre,
11:00 & 1:00 Each Day

Billy Jonas' music is percussion-based, making use of found objects (buckets, broom handles, bottles, key chains and more) as well as traditional instruments. But on any given day, the specific nature of this unforgettable neo-tribal hootenanny is largely determined and shaped by the audience. He tailors both his song selection and its presentation to suit the needs and vibe of each audience. So every Billy Jonas concert is a unique experience. He makes spirited, straightforward music that is accessible to anyone and everyone, regardless of age or cultural background. The big-tent festival quality of Billy's music facilitates connection and community while fostering inspiration and... most importantly... FUN.
ALL AGES!
