The first-ever I AM ABINGTON! Performing Arts Festival, featuring an 80-act talent show and three stage shows will take place on Saturday, July 14, 2018, from 11 a.m.–7 p.m., at the property of the former Glenside-Weldon Elementary School. This celebration of the arts will include performances by Cooper Beech Elementary School’s production of The Lion King Jr., as well as performances from local theater companies. All of the shows feature the musical and acting talents of Abington elementary, Junior High, and Senior High School students.
This outdoor event will also have art workshops, a living art display where everyone gets to be the artist, face painting, and more fun art activities for kids and adults alike.
Tickets are available at the door for $12, and guests are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair to enjoy the shows. In addition, light refreshments will be sold, with proceeds benefitting the Abington Educational Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is to enhance educational experiences and outcomes for Abington School District students through grants that support Student Achievement, Innovative Programs, and STEAM Initiatives.
