SILENT AUCTIONS TO BENEFIT TREES FOR THE FUTURE! Olney Theatre Center concludes its 2009 Family Entertainment Series with Tree Boy, its first eco-conscious play chosen to inspire awareness about the world in which we live. The production is presented in support of Silver Spring-based Trees for the Future, which helps international communities plant trees to restore life to degraded lands.
Tree Boy plays the Historic Stage October 17 through October 23. Tickets are $16; a $6 lap seat is available for children under three years of age who do not require a physical seat. Call the Box Office at 301.924.3400 or visit olneytheatre.org for tickets.
Silent auctions featuring eco-friendly products are being held during the four weekend performances on October 17 and 18. Patrons will be able to bid prior to the start of each performance, and the winning bidders will collect their items as they leave the theater after the show. A portion of the proceeds from the auctions will benefit Trees for the Future’s Tree Pals initiative. Tree Pals teaches students in developing countries about environmental issues. Classes in Honduras and Nicaragua are paired with partner schools in the United States.
