Date: Saturday, December 5, 2009

Time: 2:00pm and 7:00pm
Location: Lake Forest Church

Nicole Ramsey and Kate Schwab are working on an extremely exciting project within Playing for Others for their North Carolina Senior Exit projects. Both of them decided to focus their senior exit topics on art therapy, and because the topic fits in perfectly with the ideology behind Playing for Others, they asked Jen Band, the executive director of PFO, to be their project advisor. For the project, they are co-directing a children’s show, entitled “How to Eat like a Child.” The show is a fun, upbeat musical about the everyday how-to’s of being a kid.


As the Directors began the process, they decided they wanted to donate a portion of the proceeds to a non-profit of their choice. After much research and consideration, both girls met with Katy Murchinson from Arts for Life. Arts For Life is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives and healthcare experiences of children and adolescents battling cancer and other serious illnesses, http://www.aflnc.org. Whether it’s at the clinic while receiving a round of chemotherapy or in the child’s hospital room as they recover from surgery, they are given the opportunity to create visual art with the help of a professional. After hearing extensively about the program and the impact it has, Kate and Nicole both felt as though it was the perfect match for their project. Representatives from Arts For Life will be attending the second performance of “How to Eat Like a Child” to accept the donation.

Both Performances are open to the public and ticket prices will be “Pay What You Can”. The show is appropriate for all ages and enjoyed by children and adults alike.

"They can force us into our PJ's, they can force us to count sheep, they can force us under the covers, but they can't force us to fall asleep! We refuse to fall asleep! We refuse to fall asleep! We've decided one and all that we're never gonna to fall asleep! We've got brownies, plenty of kool-aid, we've got mars bars for dessert. We'll read comics, listen to music. Except for when we're on DAD-ALERT!"

How to Eat Like a Child

like a child, like a child, like a chi-chi-child!

How to Eat Like a Child is going to be great! For a while my songs will prob be all from the show! I think this show is just toooo cute. It's gonna be great! :D :D

So today, for the start of How to Eat Like a Child, what better song choice then....How to Eat Like a Child, the opening number! lolsauce. I'm going to put the WHOLE song because it's so dern cute!

"If you promise not to tell, we've got quite a lot to tell. Stuff we're not supposed to do. Stuff we should, but don't cause it's too gross to do. If your shocked, don't yell! And whatever you do, don't tell!

Everyone hates turnips, but grown ups always eat them. Kids are much to smart to let a vegetable defeat them! So you can eat your turnips like a grown up, or you can drop 'em in your napkin before they reach your mouth, and smuggle them to the garbage like a child. Like a child, like a chi-chi-child. Likea child, like a child, like a chi-chi-child! Just do what you've got to do, and smuggle them to the garbage like a child.

Everyone's real nosy, but grown ups try to hide it. Find a door that says 'keep out!' you'll find a kid inside it. So you could try to hide it likea  grown up, or you could raid your parents closet, go through their dresser drawers to see what you'll get for Christmas like a child. Like a child, like a chi-chi-child. Like a child, like a child, like a chi-chi-child! Just do what you've got to do, and see what you'll get for Christmas lieka  child!

You know what you've gotta do, so just set about it. If ya gotta think about it, or fret about it, forget about it!

Even if you've grown up and lost your effervescence. Doesn't mean you can't have fun. It just means you need lessons. So you could sit there thinkin like a grown up...

or you could come along and join us, clown around the playground, jump and bump your niggin, trip and rip your trousers, lose your mitten, skin oyur elbow, and start to cry! And fifteen seconds later, fell so high! Roamin' through the wild like a...

We know what we've got to, even if we're not to!

Like a chi-chi-child. Like a chi-chi-child! Yeah!
