Everyday we raise the expectations of blind people because we know that low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want, blindness is not what holds you back. </span></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>Begin forwarded message:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><b>From:</b> Jane Ehrenfeld <jehrenfeld4043@att.net><br><b>Date:</b> August 30, 2023 at 5:45:10 PM EDT<br><b>To:</b> Ehrenfeld Jane <jehrenfeld4043@att.net><br><b>Subject:</b> <b>CCT 2023-24 Season Audio Described Performances</b><br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Please share!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I am pleased to announce that I will be providing live audio description for three Columbus Children’s Theatre’s productions during their 2023-2024 season, as follows: </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><b style="font-size: 14px;">“Ragtime”</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">2 p.m. performance on Saturday, September 30 at the Lincoln Theater</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; line-height: 26px; box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;">Two-Act Musical with Intermission | 150 minutes | Ages 10+</em></p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; line-height: 26px; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><em style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;"> </em>At the dawn of a new century, everything is changing… and anything is possible. Set in the volatile melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York, three distinctly American tales are woven together – that of a stifled upper-class wife, a determined Jewish immigrant and a daring young Harlem musician – united by their courage, compassion and belief in the promise of the future. Together, this Tony Award-winning show confronts history’s timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><b style="font-size: 14px;">“Mr. Scrooge”</b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">1 p.m. performance on Saturday, December 16<sup>th</sup> at the Riffe Center, Studio 1</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; line-height: 26px; box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px;">One-Act Musical without Intermission | 60 minutes</em></p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; line-height: 26px; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A tradition returns to CCT this holiday season!

The musical begins as the bells of Notre Dame sound through the famed cathedral in fifteenth-century Paris. Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer who longs to be “Out There,” observes all of Paris reveling in the Feast of Fools. Held captive by his devious caretaker, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, he escapes for the day and joins the boisterous crowd, only to be treated cruelly by all but the beautiful Romani woman, Esmeralda. Quasimodo isn’t the only one captivated by her free spirit, though – the handsome Captain Phoebus and Frollo are equally enthralled. As the three vie for her attention, Frollo embarks on a mission to destroy the Roma – and it’s up to Quasimodo to save them all. </span></p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; line-height: 26px; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></p><p style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: 0px; line-height: 26px; box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Tickets are currently on sale for “Ragtime” and can be purchased online at <a href="https://my.cbusarts.com/events/6159?queueittoken=e_cbusarts~q_f9b87c47-0206-4f11-be6c-7c8010c7c37a~ts_1693430778~ce_true~rt_safetynet~h_96e3281440171924a371e03a7ece2d01f31153b1f5798514c709386bdc863922">CBUS Arts</a> or by calling <span style="caret-color: rgb(58, 69, 86); letter-spacing: 0.2px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">the CBUSArts Ticket Center at 614-469-0939, Monday through Friday from 9a – 5p.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">I look forward to seeing you at the theatre!</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: medium; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></p><br><br><div>
