PAUL RUHTER/Gazette Staff
The
object of this tour is to educate young children to
the dangers of nicotine addiction which is the
direct result of smoking cigarettes.
The cast of Rimrock Opera Company's "The Night Harry Stopped Smoking" finishes up its school tour today with shows in Roberts at 10:30 a.m. and Canyon Creek School at 2 p.m. For information on the show, call tour director Kristy Dallas at 671-2214.
Story Synopsis:
Harry falls asleep in his chair one night with a
cigarette in his hand. He wakes to find himself
inside his own lung! He meets the crew trying to
keep his body clean--nerve cells Fred and Ginger, ciliary cells Sid and Cilia, Pumper his Heart, and a
whole bunch of lung sacs called Alveoli. Their
message: his smoking is making them sick.
Local kids will join our professional cast to learn
not only about the dangers of smoking but also the
joys of musical theater.
