Shelby Smith, Ryann Lillis and Emily Riviello are talented Elkridge teens! They will performing with The Teen Professional Theater in Toby’s original musical adaptation of “Phantom of the Opera.”

The performance dates are July 24-27 with matinee and evening shows. Tickets are now available by calling 410-381-0700. Get your tickets early, There is even a discount rate for groups, so gather some friends and go see the show!

I understand that the Columbia Center for Theatrical Arts, Inc. has a long history of top notch productions. It is very competitive to be selected for the group, so it promises to be a great show. Toby B. Orenstein is the Founder and Artistic Director for CCTA.

The Web site, www.cctarts.com, states, “Toby believes that if you can reach a child at a young age — while their mental and physical skills are still developing — you can steer them away from anti-social behaviors, help them develop coping skills, and help build higher self-esteem, transforming their lives and enriching the community.”

Congratulations to Smith, Lillis, Riviello and all the other Howard County teens performing in “Phantom.”
