The Toledo Club hosts Annual Parade of Trees
The Toledo Club will host their Annual Parade of Trees. This is an event open to the public and allows participants to enjoy a prime rib dinner buffet ($39-adults/$16-children) and bid on beautiful Christmas trees. All the trees are donated and the money earned from the silent auction will go to a charity of the donor’s choice. An additional event allows the public to bid on the trees, but rather than dinner, visitors can enjoy a Sunday brunch and a visit with Santa. The Sunday brunch will take place from 11am-2pm on December 17th.

Theatre for life
Being involved in theatre, not only gives kids acting experience to launch a future career, but it also teaches them how to command an audience, how to articulate, along with critical listening and speaking skills. These are skills that everyone can use no matter where life may take them. Toledo is home to several amazing theatre companies, and many of them offer classes and casting opportunities for tweens and teens. If your child is looking to try something new in the New Year, you’ll find there are plenty of opportunities around town.
“This past season we had kids from 100 different area schools, and not one school offers regular drama programming, “ said Aimee Reid, Executive Artistic Director at Children’s Theatre Workshop (CTW). When designing programming for students, CTW follows the Ohio Education Board standards for drama and theater, which means the skills learned are also applicable in a school setting, as well. The students in the Ensemble (ages 10-12) have an opportunity to write four scripts each year, and two are chosen to be the next production.
The Toledo Repertoire also offers plenty of opportunities for tweens and teens to learn more theatre techniques and grow their portfolio. Dave DeChristopher, Artistic Director, was excited about Heathers The Musical for ages 14-19. The Rep enjoys introducing the students to older works, but making them applicable to today. Students also have the chance to work with the top local professionals in theatre.
