Kids Can Color for Free Tickets

Masquers Theater, Soap Lake, is sponsoring a coloring contest so kids under 12 can win free tickets to it’s first Children’s Theater Production of The Land of the Dragon, by Madge Miller.

Three age groups, 6-7 years old, 8-9 years olds & 10-12 years old, can win four children’s tickets and one adult ticket if their entry is chosen as best in their age group. The Art Guild of the Soap Lake Area will judge the colored entries and those chosen will be framed and displayed in the lobby of Masquers Jolly Theater in addition to winning the tickets. Those entries not winning tickets… “will fill the rear wall of the Sola Auditorium with great color and exuberance” says play director, Randy Johnstad. The cartoon to be colored is an original by Soap Lake’s honored resident John Glassco, past President of Masquers Theater and community activist.

The Official Entry Form is available in Moses Lake at the Public Library, Olde World Trading Co. and The Home Stretch kitchen store. In Ephrata the forms can be found at the Public Library, Olde World Trading Co., The Bookery and Second Hand Prose. In Quincy the forms are at the Public Library, Akins Grocery and Heartland Pharmacy. In Soap Lake find the Entry Forms at the Public Library and the Caffeine Couch. All colored entries must be colored by the entrant and signed by their parent. The deadline for returning the entries is March 31^st, 2006. Entry Forms can be returned to any of the listed locations and Masquers Theater.

The Land of the Dragon will open at Masquers Theater in Soap Lake on April 7^th.“A damsel in distress, a hero to save the day, the evil aunt, the wretched chancellor, foiled plots with super-natural creatures, an elegant setting, magic and beautiful costumes…” is what the audience can expect says Mr. Johnstad. He continued… “The Land of the Dragon is Cinderella, Snow White, Robin Hood and The Hobbit all rolled into one. It will delight both children and adults and sweep away every audience member to a time and place only dreamed of.”
