Burr and Burton Dancers Want Your Old Cell Phones
Burr and Burton Dance team members are sponsoring a cell phone fund-raising drive from November 10 – 25. Not only will you be helping the Dance Team raise money toward their trip, by recycling your used cell phone you are also taking a stand against environmental degradation by keeping the toxic chemicals in cell phones out of landfills. Old cell phones can be donated in the collection boxes at Stewart's, the Northshire Bookstore, and Wireless for Less.
The Burr and Burton Varsity Dance team has been invited to compete in the National Dance Team Championship in Orlando, Florida, at the end of January where the team will compete in the Hip Hop and Pom divisions and all funds raised will help defray their travel expenses.
If you would like more information about this event, or if you are interested in making a donation, contact coach Barb Miceli by phone 549-8190 or e-mail bmiceli@burrburton.org.
Burr and Burton Presents "The Diviners" November 19-22
This powerful play, written by Jim Leonard, Jr., tells the fable-like story of a disturbed yet gifted boy and his unlikely friendship with a disenchanted ex-preacher who has wandered into town. Marvelously theatrical, funny, earthy and touching, the play is set in rural southern Indiana during the Great Depression and affectionately examines the people of the American heartland whose need for a real preacher pushes the community toward inadvertent violence. It is the story of what happens when people's best intentions tragically collide.
Tickets are $6 for Burr and Burton faculty, staff and students and $10 for the community. For 24-hour ticket information call 549-8144. Tickets may be ordered online at http://bba.ticketjunior.com. The box office will be open one hour prior to all shows.
