DocuSign Envelope ID: 17D13591-D464-4BA6-903E-B287F59616C0 <br /> Artist Description We are working with The Arts Center's Arts in School program to <br /> secure our artists. Performance descriptions for the 2019-20 school <br /> year are as follows (total cost $4,900): <br /> Children's Theatre of Charlotte: The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs <br /> September 23-27, 2019 (1 show for grades K-2 at $1000) <br /> In this brilliant parody of the famous fairy tale, we follow the Big Bad <br /> Wolf as he stands trial for his purported deeds. He has his own <br /> version of the story— and the audience becomes the jury, helping <br /> decide his fate: guilty or not guilty! Based on John Scieszka's wildly <br /> popular book. <br /> Children's Theatre of Charlotte: Accidental Friends <br /> September 23-27, 2019 (1 show for grades 3-5 at $1000) <br /> Sometimes the most surprising friendships can become the truest <br /> ones. This smartly-written drama touches on themes of acceptance, <br /> inclusion, and influence as it explores the dynamics of friendships <br /> formed, lost and regained. <br /> Mike Wiley: Jackie Robinson, A Game Apart <br /> October 21-25, 2019 (1 show for grades 3-5 at $1100) <br /> A Game Apart provides a glimpse of Jackie Robinson's life during a <br /> bygone era of separate and unequal locker rooms, of whites only <br /> hotels, and of restaurants with only a back door for colored athletes <br /> to enter. A powerful lesson of courage through dedication, <br /> perseverance and leadership. <br /> Sonia de los Santos <br /> March 25-27, 2020 (2 shows at $900 each) <br /> Sonia has been hailed by Billboard as "one of the Latin children's <br /> music artists you should know." In 2015, she released her first solo <br /> family music album titled Mi Viaje: De Nuevo Leon to the New York <br /> Island, which went on to win the Parents' Choice Foundation Gold <br /> Award. This unique collection of old and new songs is a personal, <br /> and yet universal, musical story from this soulful and important new <br /> voice in family music, and the messages of joyful community <br /> musicmaking and cultural bridge building inspire and excite children <br /> and grownups of all backgrounds. This concert reflects Sonia de los <br /> Santos' experiences growing up in Mexico and moving to another <br /> country, learning about other cultures, and in the process, feeling <br /> closer to her own heritage. <br /> Are you hiring Yes <br /> multicultural artists <br /> with the requested <br /> funds from this <br /> grant? <br />
