Whale of a Show returns to the Orcas Center stage this Saturday, September 29 at 6:30. Children and youth of all ages have been practicing and will share their zesty enthusiasm that is sure to capture audience members’ hearts in this annual show.

If you have seen the show before (now over 15 years running!) you have seen children’s talents grow with them through the years. If you have never been to the show, this is your opportunity to support local youth performing arts with your presence. Talented teachers have put years of instruction and support towards these talented children who are eager to delight the audience.

This is how performers got their start (i.e., Stormy Hildreth, Paris Wilson, Sasha Hagen, the Carter sisters, and even Matthew Laslo did some magic as a little magician.) This is a chance to see annual performers (such as the students of Grace McCune, Catherine Pederson, Tiffany Loney). Enjoy silks, dancing, singing, instrumentals, and more.

Tickets are $8 and are available through the Orcas Center box office (376.ACT1 or Tuesday-Friday 10-3) , on line at www.orcascenter.org, or one hour before the show.
