Schedule listed for Conejo Valley Children's Concert series

Tickets are on sale for the 2006-07 season of the Conejo Valley Children's Concert Series, now in its 15th year, sponsored by Conejo Valley Adult Education.

The series offers daytime and evening performances of children's entertainment and musical education for schools, groups and families.

The season kicks off with an old-fashioned sing-along featuring Bev Bos, Michael Leeman and Tom Hunter.

Internationally acclaimed artist Norman Foote follows with a new show. He'll charm the audience with his outrageous props, zany sense of humor, wit, and wordplay.

Just in time for the holidays, Jim Gamble's Marionettes will bring holiday cheer with "'Twas the Night Bearfore Christmas." Join Santa Bear Claus, Bearlerina, Jingle Bear and many other puppet characters for this delightful Christmas tale. The New Year begins with a

musical celebration of the ocean. Linda Arnold's "Splash Zone" features Caribbean and Cuban rhythms that inspire children to discover more about the oceans. Mark Beckwith and Obediah Thomas bring an award-winning variety show, "Razzle-BamBoom!" Hap Palmer presents his fun-loving musical, "Happenings."

Once again Jim Gamble's Marionettes will delight children with music from French Composer Camille Saint-Saens and his "Carnival of the Animals." The season ends with crowd favorites Greg & Steve, who've thrilled local audiences for more than a decade.

All tickets are available by mail. Daytime shows are $7 and evenings are $10. Group discounts are available. For information or brochures, call (805) 3383021.
