GREAT Theatre serves community through
outdoor performance

On Friday, July 23 I had the opportunity to attend GREAT Theater's 2nd Annual Broadway in the Park at Lake George Community Center in St. Cloud. The weather was gorgeous and the crowd gathered in anticipation for the live outdoor performance of the musical “Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?”

The scene was set in a Catholic parochial school where the children are torn between mischief and following the rules. Shortly after the introduction the chuckles from the crowd were broken up by bouts of laughter as the performance progressed.

Though I won't tell you if black patent shoes really do reflect up, I will say that GREAT Theatre can add this year's 2nd Annual Broadway Performance in the Park to their "Success" list! They did a GREAT job presenting a free outdoor park performance to the public with professional sound and fantastic community actors. This performance was made possible in part due to the Arts & Culteral Heritage Legacy funds and is a wonderful example of investing in high quality arts activities and experiences for all Minnesotans.

Thank you GREAT Theatre, for providing the community with the opportunity to experience your entertaining qaulity performance for FREE at the beautiful Lake George Community Park.
