Lionheart Performs at High-End Shop to Benefit Children's Theatre

Children singing, dancing and clowning around may be an unusual sight in a high-end accessories store, but that's what shoppers were treated to Saturday (May 25) at Brighton Collectibles in Peachtree Corners.

Historic Downtown Norcross' Lionheart Theatre Co. performed a mini-drama camp in Brighton's aisles this weekend to kick off a month-long promotion that will help support Lionhearts summer children's programming.

For each $58 Independence Charm Holder Bracelet and each $48 Americana I.D. Bracelet sold from May 24 through July 31, Brighton will contribute 50 percent of the retail cost to Lionheart and other local organizations that promote arts programs for children.

Lionheart will use the proceeds to support a wide range of children's programing including drama camp scholarships the all-youth production of Seussical Junior in July.

"We don't want any child to miss out of experience due to finances," said Lionheart's Producing Artistic Director Tanya Caldwell. "Brighton's generous support helps us keep our costs low and provide scholarships."

Lionheart drama camps run two weeks from June 10 through June 21 for ages 4 through adults. Seussical Jr. runs July 19-21. Reservations can be made at www.lionhearttheatre.org.

Nationwide, each Brighton store selects local non-profits that encourage children to paticipate in the arts including ballet, orchestra, symphony and other music programs and painting classes. Over the last decade the company donated more than $8 million to charities.
