Explore history up close and personal with 5th Avenue Theater's Rosie the Riveter March 12!Contact: WHAT: Ave Kids Presents: Rosie the Riveter AUBURN, WA – February 14, 2011 Seattle's 5th Avenue Theater's Musical Theatre will bring the can-do spirit of the 1940s to the Auburn Avenue Theater on Saturday, March 12 at 2 PM for a new generation to experience Rosie the Riveter. During World War II, manufacturing plants that produced munitions and war supplies were in desperate need of workers. As many men were off at war, women who typically worked in other trades or in the home were asked to join the factory workforce to help the United States with the increasing demand of supplies for the Allies. "Rosie the Riveter" became an icon of the ideal female worker—loyal, efficient, and patriotic. Since 1994, The 5th Avenue Theatre has brought the wonder and joy of live musical theater to performance spaces through the Adventure Musical Theatre (AMT) Touring Company. This unique program has inspired and delighted over 450,000 youngsters in Washington State alone. Created by Seattle area writers and composers, AMT's entertaining and lively musicals are designed to teach kids while keeping them entertained. The 5th Avenue Theatre is dedicated to enriching the theater experience for audiences of all ages. Through their numerous education and outreach programs they introduce young people to the magic of theater, teaching about the productions on their stage and nurturing the audience and performers of today and tomorrow. Auburn AVE Kids showcases local, regional and national acts and touring presentations with an emphasis on audiences ages 4-12 and their parents. We invite you to share these magnificent moments on stage where extraordinary things come to life, making Auburn AVE Kids More Than You Imagined!
