It’s Atlanta or BUST!!!! On Saturday, December 17th at 1:00 pm the kids of the NORDC/Crescent City Lights Youth Theater will hold their own family friendly benefit performance to raise funds for their January trip to Atlanta for the Junior Theater Festival. Last year they returned home having had a fantastic experience AND brought home two awards!

For the 2012 Festival, CCLYT kids are preparing excerpts from Bugsy Malone, Jr. which they performed in 2008 and have wanted to revisit ever since. The Atlanta or Bust! benefit will unveil the Bugsy Malone excerpt which is a work in progress and features hit songs from the September production of Rabbit Sense.

The last half hour will be fun holiday music to get you and your family in the holiday spirit!
