Good Eggs
The Virginia Avenue Project
The Miles Playhouse
Friday & Saturday at 7:30 pm
Sunday at 3:00 pm
The Virginia Avenue Project
uses the arts the help kids realize their full
potential. As a result, 100% of the kids in
their program graduate from high school, 90% go
on to college and one of their alumni is
currently working in the West Wing of the White
House. The crux of the Project's work lies in
the creation of plays which the kids perform
with professional actors in front of a live
audience. The shows are always great fun with
frequent bursts of the kind of genius and
insight that you can only find in youth. And
with $5 tickets, you really can't go wrong.
