Heifer Theater

This year all of our entertainment activities will take place in a separate area we've dubbed, The Heifer Theater. For all of our Change for Kids Challenge families we'll be presenting "Beatrice's Goat" the 60 Minutes program about Beatrice Biira and the goat that changed her life, allowing her to attend school and eventually college here in the US. One goat can make an amazing difference in a struggling family's life. Hopefully we'll have raised enough change to make a difference for a family in Guatemala.

Steve Ellens of Master Arts Theater will be presenting "Meet Dan West" a monologue about Heifer Internationals' visionary founder which will help our guests connect with Heifer's can-do, agrarian roots. Steve has been performing since 1976, and has performed other monologues about visionary leaders. He's also played Gandalf from The Hobbit and Zophar from The Book of Job.

Libby Kinsey has agreed to be our Storyteller and to teach the children songs. She is a seventh grade teacher with four grandchildren and a lot of experience pleasing an audience of young people. This can be a great break for parents of young children.

Pam Clevenger is also a long time performer who will favoring us with folk music from around the world on her violin. Thrilled to participate for the first time this year, she feel that Heifer's requirement of Passing on the Gift is the best thing about Heifer, turning receivers into givers.

We will also be showing a more general video about Heifer's work titled Passing on the Gift. Below is a time table for all the Heifer Theater activities.
