Our Board is excited about our continued partnership with the Wells Fargo Foundation, making it possible for the CV REP to present a Children's Outreach Production from April 26-May 6 2011.
CV REP’s Children’s Outreach Production will be a musical called CAPTAIN LOUIE by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin & Wicked). Once again CV REP will partner with the education department of the Palm Springs Art Museum to present an educational and entertaining musical which will be presented at the Annenberg Theater.
It is our plan to bus children from local Coachella Valley schools to experience this inspiring production. There will be a public performance on Saturday, April 30 at 2pm. Tickets will be available for purchase through Annenberg box office. We will keep you posted!

The artistic staff included original music by one of Hollywood’s most successful composers, Nathan Wang, Dance which will be choreographed by Kate Hutter, the Artistic Director of the LA Contemporary Dance Company and performed by members of their company. Original script by Jonathan Dorf, a playwright who has focused primarily on youth-oriented plays which have been performed all over the world.
