Stamford, CT (Nov 14, 2011) –Stamford Center for the Arts announces three new family friendly programs for the 2012 season, including Sesame Street Live. “Presenting world-class family events will continue to be one of the driving forces of the institution as we move forward,” said SCA Executive Director, Elissa Getto.  “We are able to capitalize on the momentum created through our past programs and continue to develop and offer some truly unique experiences for our youth and families in 2012.”

Sesame Street Live presents their latest production at The Palace for three shows only April 17, 2012 at 6:30 pm and April 18, 2012 at 3:00 and 6:30 pm. Imagine singing and dancing with Elmo, Abby Cadabby, Big Bird and all your favorite Sesame Street Live friends!  It’s as easy as counting “1-2-3 … Imagine!” This high-energy musical will transport audiences to faraway places as Ernie captains the high seas, Elmo dances to the rhythm of the African rainforest and Bert meets an octopus who has the blues.  It’s a story of adventure and fun that teaches children they can be anyone, do anything and go anywhere with the power of imagination.

Dear Friends and Supporters for the Performing Arts:

Over the past year and a half I have enjoyed many wonderful opportunities to serve on community event committees, to enjoy performances, and to support, encourage, and enable youth education and participation in the Performing Arts in Stamford. I am always amazed but never surprised at the network of corporate and individual support that is on-going within the Stamford community.

I am happy to let you know that this past July, I am an official 501 (c) (3) affiliation with the Stamford Center for the Arts/Palace Theatre (SCA) through my association, Stamford Gives Back (SGB).
With this new partnership, I will continue to be committed to provide scholarships and educational opportunities to children in Connecticut. I am also determined to work closely with SCA in continuing their vision and mission of growth and excellence in Arts in Education programs.
