The performance is part of the worldwide celebration
of the 200th birthday of Denmark’s most-renowned storyteller,
Hans Christian Andersen. “The Hans Christian Andersen
Parade,” directly from Andersen’s hometown of Odense,
Denmark, will appear in the Dana Hall of Science Auditorium
on Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m.
Adult admission is $5. Children accompanied by a parent are
free. Tickets will be available at the door. Dana students,
faculty and staff can get in free with ID.
“We are excited to be able to host this very special
group,” said Carrie L. Reed, director of college relations
and marketing at Dana College. “I had the privilege to
see the performance on stage in Denmark a few years ago. Children
of all ages are in for a treat.”
The cast of 25 actors, ranging in age from 10 to 19, will present scenes from
such well-known tales as “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Little
Match Girl,” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.”
The Hans Christian Andersen Parade performs more than 250
times each year in Denmark. This is their first United States
tour.
The group will be staying with host families in Blair during their visit and
will make a special performance at the Blair Public Schools on Oct. 14.
Dana College is a national sponsor for the tour. Patron sponsors
who are helping make this performance possible are Phil and
Florence Larsen, John and Ginny Beck, Bob and Joan Krogh, Tim
and Sharon Jensen, and the family of Laura Lorsch.
