April, 2010 – Family Fun Day – Get Moving on April 24th
Family Fun Day
Hosted by: Del Prado Elementary School
Invites Palm Beach& Broward Families
Health, Safety and Fitness for families is of vital importance and all three continue to be topics for discussion but they seem to overlap in so many ways, that often with our busy lifestyles and limited budget it is easy to say we’ll do it tomorrow. A Boca Raton mom, Gina Barron decided to make a difference a few years ago by partnering with Del Prado Elementary School principal, Sandra Rhategan and now 5 years later they are teaming up again to continue the discussion and raise awareness. We welcome families from Palm Beach and Broward Counties to share this day.
We welcome families from Palm Beach and Broward Counties to share this day. We anticipate well over 1500 people.
This is a day that will provide entertainment, fitness, safety tips and valuable information that can save lives and do this all for FREE. We want parents and their children to come and experience different foods, drinks and get moving.

April, 2010 – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at LW Playhouse
The Lake Worth Playhouse presents…
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
April 16 – May 2, 2010
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics by Tim Rice
The biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph is his father’s favorite son and a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles ranging from country western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock ’n’ roll, this Old Testament tale emerges in true Andrew Lloyd Webber fashion that is both timely and timeless.
