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!"
