Blue Apple Players hosts "Behind The Scenes" lunches
Posted on January 15, 2008
The Blue Apple Players, a regional nonprofit theater company, is inviting the public to a behind-the-scenes look at the organization.
“Currently we reach nearly 100,000 children each year and we want to show our patrons how we’ve grown throughout the years,” says BAP executive director Paul Lenzi. “The best way to do that is to invite people into our home.”
The public is invited to attend one of the upcoming lunches at the Blue Apple Players’ home, located at 625 East Market Street in Louisville, Kentucky. Each structured one-hour lunch includes an in-depth look at the company’s educational programs and upcoming performances, a history of the impact the group has had on the community, and the opportunity to meet the staff and members of the board of directors.
Upcoming “Behind the Scenes” lunches will take place on:
Wednesday, January 23, 2008 12:00pm-1:00pm
Wednesday, February 27, 2008 12:00pm-1:00pm
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 12:00pm-1:00pm
Each session will include a light lunch, and is free and open to the public. Blue Apple Players is located at 625 East Market Street in downtown Louisville. To reserve a space, please contact Trina at trina@blueappleplayers.org or (502) 587-7990.
