Do you need an excuse to have a snack? We've got you covered. We are collecting cardboard snack cans like the ones that are shown in these images. We also need the lids from containers like these (the lids can also come from the plastic cans that are similar). We will be using them for an activity at camp so we are going to need several. Please bring them to the Annex during our normal business hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (We are closed on Wednesday) between 9 am and 4 pm. The deadline for drop off is Friday, July 3rd. As always, we appreciate your help!

We're holding the SECOND night of auditions for Disney's Dare to Dream Jr. at Playhouse Annex tonight, and we'd love to see more kids and teens join the fun ages 8-18!

We know schedules can be busy, and last night's audition turnout was much smaller than expected, which means there's still plenty of opportunity for new faces to jump in and be part of this magical Disney adventure! Whether your child is a seasoned performer or has never stepped on stage before, everyone is welcome. Come make new friends, build confidence, and help bring beloved Disney stories to life!
