Kennedy Center Family Theatre Opening
The new Youth And Family Theatre at the Kennedy Center will be the first new theatre at the center in 20 something years, and the opening ceremony on December 2nd promises to be a star studded event and a whole lot of fun. The new system includes JBL boxes and the house engineer will sit behind a Yamaha PM5D. Along with the event, I'm designing the first show in the theatre, which is called ALICE, by Kim Hines, based on the Whoopi Goldberg children's book. I'll post production photos when they become publicly available.
ALICE will be the first play in the new theatre.

Hi Tony,
Do you have more info on the opening ceremony for the Youth and Family Theatre opening? My daughter is involved and everything is so secretive... Do you have a clue if it will be televised or somehow recorded? I'd be interested in more insider info if you have it!
Thanks

Sorry I couldn't answer your question earlier, as the event was not to be advertised beforehand.
