A variety of recreational activities is available all year round.
Children’s theater
Price: $35
This year the West Union Parks and Recreation will again be hosting a children’s theater company. In the past we have performed Rumpelstiltskin, The Little Mermaid, The Secret Garden, and Sleeping Beauty with the Missoula Children’s Theatre.
In 2017, the children performed Peter Pan and in 2018 The Wizard of Oz through Compass Creative Dramatics from Chicago. Compass Creative Dramatics will be back again in 2021 and we will be doing The Jungle Book. This year’s practice and production will take place from August 2-6, 2021. Performance will be held on Friday, August 6 , at 6 p.m. This production is for anyone who is currently in 1st grade through 12th grade. This year’s production will not be a full play but rather select scenes from the Jungle Book. The COVID still a contributing factor, the tour company will not be visiting. Mariya Yasinovska will be the local director.
The directors stay in homes of our local citizens for the week and are in charge of all the practices with our youth. It is simply amazing what the children can do with only one week of practice. Please mark your calendars and take in one of the performances. You will not be disappointed. Please contact Kathleen Guyer at 563-380-8496 if you would like more information.
