Bonners Ferry Summer Youth Theater to heat up summer audiences

  The Bonners Ferry Summer Youth Theater performers are from four to 14 years-old and want to show their talents in three hot performances in Bonners Ferry this summer.

Admission for all shows is $8 for  and $5 for students and seniors and all shows will be held in Becker Auditorium. 

First in line a presentation of 101 Dalmatians starting at 7 p.m., Thursday, July 15 though, Saturday, July 17.

“People can keep their tickets and return for a half price encore performance,” said Dave Carpenter, director.

Next on the playbill is the Reunion Gala, an entourage of favorites from past performances of “Grease,” “Pirates of Penzance, “The Fantastics,” “Peter Pan” and “Aida,” as well as several songs from “101 Dalmatians.”

The Reunion Gala will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 24.

“The reason we decided to have the Reunion Gala is to raise funds for our projects,” Carpenter said.

On Friday, Aug., 7, and Saturday, Aug., 8, dress as your favorite 80’s character in celebration of the performance of “Back to the 80’s,” and win prizes.

 Performances of 26 songs from the 1980’s will be delivered by the Summer Youth Theater group.

Show starts at 7 p.m.,  with a matinee performance at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Aug., 8. 

The Summer Youth Theater program is offered to children at no cost. 

A silent auction fund raiser is being held to raise funds for a storage unit closer to the auditorium to store props, sets, and  costumes.
