AT&T Performing Arts Center and Children’s HealthSM
Partner on Book Donation Drive during Dallas
engagement of
Disney’s
Beauty and the Beast
June 22 – 26, 2016
Winspear Opera House
Celebrity Readers to Conduct
Pre-show Children’s Book Readings
Dallas - The nonprofit AT&T Performing Arts Center is
pleased to be partnering with Children’s HealthSM to bring the smash
hit Broadway musical Disney’s Beauty and
the Beast presented by NETworks, to Dallas’ Margot and Bill Winspear Opera
House from June 22 to June 26, 2016.
In the spirit of Beauty’s
book-loving heroine, during the eight-performance engagement, AT&T
Performing Arts Center and Children’s Health will conduct a book drive called
“Books for Belle”. Attendees are invited
to visit a pop-up library in the Winspear Opera House lobby and donate a new or
gently used children’s book to benefit patients and families at Children’s
Health hospitals and clinics. In return, children who donate two or more books
can select a book of their own from the lobby shelves to keep and read over the
summer.
To further inspire and celebrate families reading together,
patrons are also encouraged to arrive one hour prior to each performance and
attend a reading of a family-friendly story presented by a local celebrity in
the lobby. Participating celebrities will include media personalities, athletes
and even the Funnyatrics Clown Troupe from Children’s Health.
