Venice Theatre's outreach program presents 'Rock the World! | Arts & Culture

Venice, FL -- Island Village Montessori School (IVMS), Venice Theatre, and the IVMS Choraliers are proud to announce their collaborative production of the musical Rock the World! by Gianna Campo.

IVMS after-school students will perform on Venice Theatre’s MainStage Saturday, Feb. 25 at 1 p.m. The IVMS Choraliers will present a pre-show at 12:30 p.m.

A donation of $8 in exchange for tickets can be given at the school in Jan Pearman’s office or by calling (941) 484-4999 ext. 224. Any remaining tickets will be available at the theatre beginning one hour before the performance. Discounts are not available at the door.

Coined “IMAGINE”, the partnership between IVMS and Venice Theatre (VT) is in its eighth year. Jan Pearman, director of the IVMS after-school program, sees theatre as an opportunity to challenge her students while catering to a variety of curriculum levels.  Candace Artim and Sandy Davisson of Venice Theatre’s Education and Outreach Department have worked on-site at IVMS throughout the school year.  Their time with the students culminates in this fully-mounted production on Venice Theatre’s MainStage. 

The “IMAGINE” program enables children to express themselves creatively through drama, develop their speaking and general social skills, and learn the skills needed for acting and musical theatre.
