Bowl-A-Thon at Strike Zone to Benefit Children’s Theatre

  A special Bowl-A-Thon event to benefit Huntington’s long-running children’s theatre, the First Stage Theatre Company, will be offered Sunday, Sept. 14, from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Strike Zone Bowling Center at 141 Eastern Heights in Huntington.

   The event is open to the public, and all funds raised will go toward upcoming productions by the non-profit theatre company, including Disney’s Aladdin, Jr., which takes the stage the last weekend in September. 

   Each bowler is asked to donate a minimum of $25 to take part. Take pledges from friends and family and join the fun! Sign up by Wednesday, Sept. 10, and you’ll receive a free T-shirt and be eligible to win free door prizes. After Sept. 10, the cost to take part is $30 per bowler. You’re welcome to bowl alone or bring your own 4-to-6-person team (come up with a cool team name) and bowl for two hours. Have fun and support a great cause!

   First Stage Theatre Company has presented more than 60 shows in 25 years. Disney’s Aladdin, Jr. is based on the beloved animated film. That show will be presented Sept. 26 and 27 at 7:30 p.m. and Sept. 27 and 28 at 2:30 p.m. at the Renaissance Theatre (the old Huntington High School) at 900 8th Street in Huntington, W.Va. 

   Based in Huntington, W.Va., the First Stage Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing an educational, developmental experience for young people through the performing arts.
