The Prince Charles Theatre will be filled with the sound of Latin America when the Creston Rotary Club presents Singing for Honduras. The followup to last year’s concert will run at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 14, raising funds to buy educational supplies for Honduran children.
“These children are from rural settings,” said Singing for Honduras director Marlene Nash. “They have very limited access to education. A lot are working in fields and are from very poor families.”
The lineup for the concert is extensive, with performances by John Herbaut, the Creston Community Band, the Velle Weitman Trio, and the trio of Tiesja, Larry and Dixie, along with Zavallennahh Huscroft, Monte Anderson, Peter Bodley, Eddie Owl and Latin dancer Melissa Calderon.
Nash, who once owned a popular ice cream shop on 11th Avenue North, will also sing, having returned to Creston this summer after a six-year absence. She guarantees it will be a fun night not to be forgotten.
“We have put together a very unusual show this year,” she said. “I have a surprise ending no one will expect.”
Tickets for Singing for Honduras are $15 in advance at Black Bear Books and $20 at the door.
