and dedicated artists who participate in the Beck Center's Creative Arts
Therapies program.  This exhibit will be on display May 4 - June 10 in
the Music-Armory Building.=20

The arts have always served as a means of entertainment and personal
expression.  Creative Arts Therapies was introduced as an accepted
method of therapy in the 20th century.  It is the prescribed and
therapeutic use of the arts to facilitate change or to maintain
functioning and contribute to the overall quality of life.  Music and
art therapists serve people of all ages with special needs.  Through
therapy, the arts are used to promote personal growth, so all
individuals may further develop skills that help maximize their
potential.

Razzle Dazzle VIII is sponsored by the Oatey Company.  A special opening
night benefit performance will be held on Friday evening, May 11 at 7:30
p.m. and includes a reception and raffle after the show, as well as an
opportunity to mix and mingle with the talented cast and crew.   Tickets

the Beck Center.  To reserve tickets, call the Beck Center Box Office at
